Answer:
distance = 14.4222
midpoint = (1, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
distance between two points:
sqrt(x₂ - x₁)² + sqrt(y₂ - y₁)²
sqrt((5 - (-3))² + sqrt(-8 - 4)²
sqrt(8)² + sqrt(-12)²
[tex]\sqrt{64 + 144}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{208}[/tex]
distance = 14.4222
midpoint:
[tex](\frac{-3 + 5}{2} , \frac{4 + -8}{2})[/tex]
(1, -2)
