Midpoint of a segment whose endpoints are (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)
M((x₁+x₂)/2  ,  (y₁+y₂)/2)
1)
(3,7)
(7,3)

M( (3+7) /2  ,  (7+3)/2 )
M(10/2 , 10/2)
M(5,5)

B(5,5).

2)
Distance between the points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)

Distance=√[(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)₂]
(6,32)
(-8,-16)
distance=√[(-8-6)²+(-16-32)²]
d=√[(-14)²+(-48)²]
d=√(196+2304)
d=√2500
d=50

D. 50

(2,3)
(7,4)
d=√[(7-2)²+(4-3)²]
d=√(5²+1²)
d=√(25+1)
d=√26≈5.1

d≈5.1
