Describe how to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane.

find the midpoint between (-3, 4) and (5, 8)

Dist = 8.94, midpoint = (1,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the Distance between the points is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, whose legs are parallel to the x and y axes.

Leg 1 = x2 - x1 = 5 - -3 = 8

Leg 2 = y2 - y1 = 8-4 = 4

Hypotenuse = (8^2 + 4 ^2) ^ .5 = (64+16)^.5

Sqrt(80) = 8.94

The midpoint is aligned with the midpoint of each leg

X = 5 - 8/2 = 1

Y = 8 - 4/2 = 6

So (1,6) is the midpoint

well, you see here, jamal was born to 2 parents, his mother who he lives with and his father who left at a young age and who happens to be younger than him. he stole cookies because he has to steal food due to the fact that he spends his government poverty checks on pot and women.
