20. Example 7 GH has endpoints G(-3,2) and H(3,-2). Find the coordinates of its midpoint.

21. End of Notes Please pick up a whiteboard, a marker, and an eraser.

22. Example 8 On your whiteboard, graph the following points: A(2,1), B(6,-1), C(8,7), D(4,9) Draw quadrilateral ABCD. Use the Midpoint Formula to find the midpoints of each side. What appears to be true?

23. Example 9 A boat at the point X(5,-2) needs to travel to Y(-6,9) or Z(17,- 3). Which point is closer? What is the distance to the closer point?
