Answer 1

A midsegment is given by the formula:
$\frac{x1+x2}{2} , \frac{y1+y2}{2}$

Where x1, x2, y1, and y2 correspond to their respective coordinates. We can do the equation:

$\frac{-3+5}{2} , \frac{-1+3}{2}$
This gets us a midpoint coordinate of (1,1)

As for distance, it will be found by doing:
$\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$
We can do the following:

$\sqrt{(5-(-3))^2+(3-(-1))^2}$
$\sqrt{(8)^2+(4)^2}$
$\sqrt{64+16}$
This simplifies to $4 \sqrt{5}$
