Question 1072637
Given two points (-4,-6) and (2,-8):

a. Calculate the distance between them.
{{{d = sqrt(diffy^2 + diffx^2)}}}
eg, for (4,6) and (-3,2):
diffy = 6-2 = 4
diffx = -3-4 = -7
-----
{{{d = sqrt(4^2 + 7^2) = sqrt(65))}}}
============================
b. Find the midpoint between them.
It's the average of x & y separately.
eg, for (4,6) and (-3,2):
For x: (4-3)/2 = 1/2
For y: (6-2)/2 = 2
--> (1/2,2)
