Question

Two points are located at (a, c) and (b, c). Find the midpoint and the distance between the two points

Luca Alexander · Accepted Answer

all right. So for this exercise, we need to find the distance between A and B. So generic point A and B and their mid point, it&#x27;s all cauldron point M, and it&#x27;s gonna be somewhere around here. And we know the coordinates for a ours a comma, see, And for B is a b comma SSI. So let&#x27;s start off by finding their midpoint and their midpoint is gonna be noticed is also on the same height. See writes us on the same level of this graph here. And we have we have this up. The point, eh? At our X coordinate a and the point being are exporting it be. And so our point m lesbian ex co ordinates a plus B over to If it&#x27;s truly the midpoint and our white board, it must be seen, since it&#x27;s on the same level as A and B. So this is our midpoint m. Okay, so let&#x27;s find the distance between A and B. The distance between N B is actually a minus. B writes a distance this distance here in blue I&#x27;m trying to find, but it&#x27;s not just a minus B because I don&#x27;t want negative distance notice this be could be before this. A. This is a totally arbitrary decision placing this be after the A. So that&#x27;s just a quick fix. We just take the absolute value of a minus B. So that&#x27;s a distance between A and B in this scenario.

way. Want to find the distance in mid point between the points A, B and B A. Find the distance would be the square roof of the difference of your wife. Ordinate or export its, um a minus B squared. Plus the difference of your, uh why corn? It&#x27;s a B square. The what? It&#x27;s not gonna matter because we spare. It&#x27;s gonna be positive. So we get a swear minus to a B plus B squared, plus a square minus two a B plus B squared. So we get to a square minus for a B plus two he square or the square root of two times a my SP squared, which is the absolutely outing of a minus bi. I&#x27;m suspect root of two because we&#x27;re square rooting this eight square or the midpoint. You just add your exports together a plus B. Take, uh, and you add your wife or in its people is a or a plus and take half

using the midpoint formula have excellent post war. I went over to called X triple Swear to over two.

Kaitlyn Wu · Answer

you said this question. We have a lot of two points. Um, thinking about lunch. A says to find the distance between them. The first thing one of you is determined the X Y coordinates each of the points so that we can just plug them into the distance formula that we know. And that&#x27;s how we can get the distance between two points. So from the plot, we can see that the points are 0 to 30 And so will you listen to Justin to formula. We get three months. You&#x27;re square, you know, minus two queer, which is equal to we&#x27;re three squared, plus negative two squared, which is a fool to route 13. So this is our distance report. Be. You want to find a midpoint of this segment, And so the midpoint formula is just basically for each for the ex corn in the white corner of the midpoint. Um, you just take the average of the of the respective X coordinates and the like hornets. So just example. So if we have a no, you and see you want to find admit, what of these two points the midpoint would be? Yeah, plus over too. The puts the over too. So then you know I&#x27;m using this. You get you&#x27;re a plus. Three over two. Too close. Zero over to. And this is just equal to three over two. What?

Taylor Shimono · Answer

So, in order to find the distance and midpoint of these two points that are given to us, uh, on the graph right here we are going to have to first figure out what exactly the coordinates of our points are, so we can start with this point on the right. We can see that it is two units to the right of zero and two units up. So our coordinates will be to to and for our point down here. We have two years to the left. So that&#x27;s gonna give us a negative to you on the extraction and one unit down, which would give us negative one in the wind direction. So now that we have our two points, I&#x27;ll go ahead and call this one on the left. Appoint one. Well, put one next to it. And this one on the right is going to be 10.2. So, uh, we can go ahead and plug in these points into our distance formula. So we have the square root of X one, which we said is negative too. Minus x two is minus two squared. Plus why one is negative. One minus y two is two and we&#x27;re going to square that as well. So when we simplify it, each of these two terms we&#x27;re gonna get negative to minus negative too is negative for squared. Plus negative one minus two is negative. Three squared. And this is going to give us the square root of negative four squared. It&#x27;s 16 plus negative. Three squared is nine. So we can add those and get the square root of 25. So our distance is equal to five between these two points. And finally we confined our midpoint again by plugging our points into this midpoint midpoint formula. So our X one is negative too. Plus, R X two is positive, too. That&#x27;s gonna be over too. And finally, our why one is negative. One plus y two is two and once again divided by two. So, uh, in our x coordinate negative two plus two is gonna give us zero. So zero divided by two will still be zero and negative. One plus two is going to give us a positive one, and we&#x27;re going to go ahead and divide that by our two in the denominator. And we found our miccoli is 0 1/2

it says this Wishing you have a plot with two points going by a line in her day says We want to find distance between these two points. I just want to determine what the points are. So in the plot you see that it&#x27;s nearly 33 and five negative three that we can just plug these points into the distance. Five minus native three Weird plus you three minus three squared, which is equal to 10. So that is our distance between two points, then in part being want to find a good point. So the midpoint is just the average of the two points. Essentially, you take the average of the ex points on. That would be our midpoint. Ex immunity averaging. Why four minutes and that eyes are midpoint wide. So, um, this problem we have really three plus five. What about two as the ex and plus you three. Well, the two is the why. So this is just 12
