(8, 9) will be the midpoint of the segment.
You can find this by applying the formula
(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2
Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is

The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):


That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:


Use pythagoras
d = √(Δx² + Δy²)
d = √(12-2)² + (9-4)²
d = √(10² + 5²)
d = √(100 + 25)
d = √125
d = 5√5
d = 5 × 2.236
d = 11.18
The nearest tenth is 11.2, so the distance is near to 11.2
