$slope=\dfrac{y_1-y_0}{x_1-x_0}\\ slope=\dfrac{-8-5}{6-(-2))}=\dfrac{-13}{8}$

$midpt=\left(\dfrac{x_0+x_1}{2},\dfrac{y_0+y_1}{2}\right)\\ midpt=\left(\dfrac{-2+6}{2},\dfrac{5+-8}{2}\right)=(2,-3/2)$

$dist = \sqrt{(x_1-x_0)^2 + (y_1-y_0)^2}\\ dist= \sqrt{(6--2)^2 + (-8-5)^2}\\ dist=\sqrt{8^2+(-13)^2}=\sqrt{64+169}=\sqrt{233}$
