Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.

When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis. 

short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other

What is the midpoint between (3, -1) and (7,-5)
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(5, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the midpoint is (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})

(\frac{3+7}{2} ,\frac{-1 + -5}{2}) = (\frac{10}{2} ,\frac{-6}{2}) = (5, -3)
