Let's find the coordinates of the midpoint and the distance one at a time.
Finding the Midpoint
To find the midpoint M, we can use the Midpoint Formula.
M(x_1+x_2/2,y_1+y_2/2)The coordinates of the given endpoints are ( -7,5) and ( 5,9). Let's use these to find the coordinates of the midpoint.
To find the distance between the points, we can use the Distance Formula.
d=sqrt(( x_2-x_1)^2+( y_2-y_1)^2)
Let's substitute the given endpoints, A( -7,5) and B( 5,9), into this formula and simplify.
