Work Step by Step

$(0, 0)$; $(4, 2)$ (a) The distance between the points = $\sqrt {4^2 + 2^2}$ = $2\sqrt5$ (b) The midpoint of the line segment connecting the points $(\frac{4+0}{2}, \frac{2+0}{2})$ = $(2, 1)$ (c) The slope of the line containing the points = $\frac{2-0}{4-0}$ = 0.5 (d) Interpret the slope found in part (c) Positive slope, with value less than 1 i.e 0.5 Which implies, x increase twice as much as y
