Distance between two points
x1 y1 x2 y2
d= sqrt%28%28y2-y1%29%5E2%2B%28x2-x1%29%5E2%29
6 -2 4 4
d= sqrt%28%284-%28-2%29%09%29%5E2%09%2B+%28%094%09-%096%09%29%5E2%09%29
d= sqrt%28%286%29%5E2%09%2B%09%28%09-2%09%29%5E2%09%29
d= sqrt%28%2840%29+%29
d= 6.32
mid point x = (x1+x2)/2
=6+4/2
=5
y=(y1+y2)/2
y=(-2+4)/2
y=2/2
y=1
(5,1)
