A(5,11) and point
B(-1,-7) MP = (2, 2), m = 18/6 = 3 and D = sqrt(18^2 + 6^2) = 18.9737 (Rounded)
Need to Know:
Midpoint Pt(x,y): ( %28x%5B1%5D+%2B+x%5B2%5D%29%2F2, %28y%5B1%5D+%2B+y%5B2%5D%29%2F2++%29)
m+=%28y%5B2%5D+-+y%5B1%5D%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D+%29
D = sqrt+%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29%29
