Question 925828: Please show me step by step these two parts.
a) Find the distance between the points (7,-8) and (-2,4)
b) Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (7,-8) and (-2, 4) Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) Find the distance between the points (7,-8) and (-2,4)

It's the Pythagorean Theorem.

b) Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (7,-8) and (-2,4)
It's the average of x any y separately.
For x: (7-2)/2 = 2.5
For y: (-8+4)/2 = -2
--> (2.5,-2) or (5/2,-2)
