Question 30183: Exact Midpoint and Two Squared Segment Lengths

Original question and givens

Use one equal-unit orthogonal Euclidean L2 plane and one length unit. P=[-7, 1], Q=[8, 9], with midpoint M. Give (Mx, My, d(P,M)², d(M,Q)²). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.
