Question

Find the midpoint and distance between each pair of points, with easy explanation and work !! will give brainliest.

Answer 1

If we have 2 coordinates say: (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Then the formula for the midpoint is:

((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

And the formula for the distance is:

Sqrt((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)

So here we have (-1,-4) and (-7,4)

The midpoint is:

((-1+-7)/2,(-4+4)/2) = (-8/2,0/2) = (-4,0)

The distance is:

Sqrt((-7- -1)^2+(4- -4)^2)
= sqrt((-6^2)+(8^2))
=sqrt(36+64)
=sqrt(100)
=10
