Question 1056015: Please help find the distance between the points, and the( midpoint) of the line segment. For the midpoint I need the the coordinates, not the distance between the end of the segment and the midpoint.
-(2/3),(3/2) , (7/3), (2)
Thanks much for your help

You can put this solution on YOUR website! find the distance between the points, and the( midpoint) of the line segment. For the midpoint I need the the coordinates, not the distance between the end of the segment and the midpoint.
-(2/3),(3/2) , (7/3), (2)
If it's 2 points do it like this:
(-2/3,3/2), (7/3,2)
-----
To find the midpoint find the average of x & y separately.
For x: (-2/3 + 7/3)/2 = 5/6
For y: (3/2 + 2)/2 = 7/4
--> MP @ (5/6,7/4)
