Distance and Midpoint

The same two walks you used for slope build a right triangle. The hypotenuse is the distance, and the middle of the walk is the midpoint.

d=√( (x₂−x₁)² + (y₂−y₁)² )Same two gaps as slope. Here you square them and add, instead of dividing.
Step 1

Here are the two points

We want two things: how far apart they are, and the point exactly in the middle.
