    Midpoint of Two Points

    • The midpoint formula is ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.

    Slope Between Two Points

    • The slope formula is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.
    • The slope represents the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change between two points.

    Distance Formula

    • The distance formula is $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$, where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the two points.
    • The distance formula calculates the distance between two points on a coordinate plane.
