Answer
(a) Refer to the image below for the plot.
(b) Distance between the two points: $\sqrt{41} \approx 6.40$ units
(c) Midpoint of the segment joining the two points: $(-3,5, -1)$
Work Step by Step
(a) Refer to the attached image in the answer part for the plot.
(b) Solve for the distance between the two points using the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$ to have:
$d=\sqrt{[-1-(-6)]^2+[1-(-3)]^2}
\\d=\sqrt{5^2+4^2}
\\d=\sqrt{25+16}
\\d=\sqrt{41}
\\d\approx 6.40$
(c) Find the mmidpoint of the segment that joins them by using the midpoint formula: $\text{midpoint}=\left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$
Midpoint = $\left(\frac{-1+(-6)}{2}, \frac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)=(-3.5, -1)$
