Find the distance between the points (2, -5) and (-3, 0). One more question HELP!?

Question

Find the midpoint of the points (2,-5) and (-3, 0). (don't forget to simplify)

Answer 1

The midpoint formula is (x1+x2/2, y1+y2/2) So you would say it: x1+x2 divided by 2 which will give you your x coordinate, and the y1+y2 divided by 2 which will give you your y coordinate. So, now just plug in the numbers. x1=2 x2=-3 y1=-5 y2=0. Plug them in and solve.

Answer 2

distance = 7.0 units

midpoint = (-1/2 , -5/2)

Answer 3

the midpoint formula is (X2 - X1)/2 and (Y2-Y1)/2 where X2 and X! are the x cordinates for the 2 points, and Y2 and Y1 are the y cordinates of the 2 points. u should get x,y coordinate as your answer.

but since your asking the distance between the two points, the formula is the sqrt of [(Y2-Y1)^2 + X2-X1)^2]

Answer 4

learn the formulas!

distance: square root of [ (y2 - y1) squared = (x2 -x1) squared ]

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

it is not really that hard.  if you have no one to help you and no book.  i do not think you should be home-schooled!
