Question 471563: 1. Given the following two points, (a) find the distance between them, (b) find the midpoint, and (c) submit the graph to the Dropbox. Please show all of your work.
(3, -2), (1, 8)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distance:
^2 + (-2-8)^2} = \sqrt{104} = 2\sqrt{26})
Midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates. In this case, the midpoint is (2,3) since (3+1)/2 =2 and (-2+8)/2 = 3.
I'm not entirely familiar with how to graph points on this site, but simply draw a coordinate plane, locate (3,-2) and (1,8), and connect the two points to make a line. The middle of that line is the midpoint, by definition.
