For any equation,
assume solution of a form, 
Which leads to,
Simplify to,
Then find solutions,
For non repeated real root y, we have a form of,
Following up,
For two non repeated complex roots 
where,
and,
the general solution has a form of,
Or in this case,
Now we just refine and get,
Hope this helps.

The midpoint of these two points is (-1, 8).
In order to find the midpoint, you must take the average of each part of the coordinates. You do this by adding them together and dividing by 2. We'll start with the x-coordinates.
(-1 + -1)/2 = -1
Now we'll use the y-coordinates.
(10 + 6)/2 = 8
This gives us the ordered pair of (-1, 8)
The letter A represents the smallest value in the data collection, which would be 17
