Question

Graphed: (-1,0) and (3,3)

(a) Find the distance between them. (b) Find the midpoint of the segment that joins them. (x, y) =

Answer 1

The distance formula is simply the square root of (x₁-x₂)² + (y₁-y₂)² and the midpoint is just the average of the values. So, distance is sqr((3--1)² + (3-0)² which gives us 5.

the midpoint is (-1 + 3 /2, 0+3 .2) or (1,1.5)

Answer 2

d² = (-1 - 3)² + (0 - 3)²

Mid = ((-1 + 3) / 2, (0 + 3) / 2))
