    [email protected]
    The document discusses the midpoint formula and how to find the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The formula is: M = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2. Examples are provided of finding the midpoint and coordinates of the other endpoint when the midpoint and one endpoint are given. The distance formula is also reviewed which is: d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2. Several examples are worked through of finding the distance between two points using their coordinates.
