Question

How can you find the midpoint and length of a line segment in a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

Given a line segment with end points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)`

The coordinates of the midpoint are given by:

`((x_1+x_2)/2,(y_1+y_2)/2)`

Given a line segment with end points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2,y_2)`

The distance between the points is given by the distance formula:

`d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`
