Question

Can you help explain how to solve this for me?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:

$d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$$\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt{(-4-8)^2+(5--6)^2} \\ d=\sqrt{-12^2+11^2} \\ d=\sqrt{265}=16.28 \end{gathered}$

b.

$\begin{gathered} m=\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\frac{y_2+y_1}{2} \\ m=(\frac{-6+5}{2},\frac{-4+8}{2}) \\ m=(-\frac{1}{2},2) \end{gathered}$
