Define distance formula and midpoint formula in words.
Distance formula: the distance between two points in a coordinate plan is equal to the square root of the sum of the horizontal change squared and the vertical change squared. Midpoint formula: The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the average of the endpoints' x-coordinates and the average of the endpoints' y-coordinates
