Question 477235: how to plot points, find the distance between the points, find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points,
(1/2,1), (-5/2,4/3) Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
The first number in an ordered pair is the distance left (-) or right (+) from the origin (0,0). The second number in an ordered pair is down (-) or up (+) from the origin. For your first point, for example, go 1/2 unit right and 1 unit up.
Find the distance between two points
where where and are the coordinates of the given points.
Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the two points
Find the -coordinate of the midpoint:
Then find the -coordinate of the midpoint:
where where and are the coordinates of the given points.
