1. **Problem:** Find the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints A(-4,5) and B(-5,0).
2. **Formula:** Midpoint $M$ of segment with endpoints $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is given by:
$$M = \left(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)$$
3. **Calculation:**
$$M = \left(\frac{-4 + (-5)}{2}, \frac{5 + 0}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{-9}{2}, \frac{5}{2}\right) = (-4.5, 2.5)$$
4. **Answer:** The midpoint is $\boxed{D\ (-4.5, 2.5)}$.
5. **Problem:** Find the length of the line segment with endpoints C(-3, -5) and D(2, 4).
6. **Formula:** Distance $d$ between points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is:
$$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$$
7. **Calculation:**
$$d = \sqrt{(2 - (-3))^2 + (4 - (-5))^2} = \sqrt{(5)^2 + (9)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 81} = \sqrt{106}$$
8. **Answer:** The length is $\boxed{\sqrt{106}}$ (option C).
9. **Problem:** Find an equation for the circle with centre $(0,0)$ and radius $1$.
10. **Formula:** Equation of circle with centre $(h,k)$ and radius $r$ is:
$$ (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2 $$
11. **Calculation:** Here $h=0$, $k=0$, $r=1$, so:
$$ x^2 + y^2 = 1^2 = 1 $$
12. **Answer:** The equation is $\boxed{x^2 + y^2 = 1}$ (option C).
13. **Problem:** The intersection of all medians of a triangle is called?
14. **Answer:** The intersection point of medians is called the $\boxed{\text{Centroid}}$ (option C).
15. **Problem:** The point $(-1,2)$ lies on a circle with centre $(0,0)$. Find the equation of the circle.
16. **Formula:** Use $x^2 + y^2 = r^2$ and find $r$ by distance from centre to point:
$$r = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5}$$
17. **Equation:**
$$x^2 + y^2 = 5$$
18. **Answer:** The equation is $\boxed{x^2 + y^2 = 5}$ (option B).
19. **Problem:** The quadrilateral formed by the midpoints of any quadrilateral is?
20. **Answer:** It is always a $\boxed{\text{Parallelogram}}$ (option D).
21. **Problem:** Determine the shortest distance between point $D(2,5)$ and line $2y - 3x = 5$.
22. **Formula:** Distance $d$ from point $(x_0,y_0)$ to line $Ax + By + C = 0$ is:
$$d = \frac{|Ax_0 + By_0 + C|}{\sqrt{A^2 + B^2}}$$
23. **Rewrite line:**
$$2y - 3x = 5 \implies -3x + 2y - 5 = 0$$
24. **Calculate numerator:**
$$|-3(2) + 2(5) - 5| = |-6 + 10 - 5| = |-1| = 1$$
25. **Calculate denominator:**
$$\sqrt{(-3)^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}$$
26. **Distance:**
$$d = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}}$$
27. **Answer:** The shortest distance is $\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt{13}}}$.
**Final answers:**
1: D $(-4.5, 2.5)$
2: C $\sqrt{106}$
3: C $x^2 + y^2 = 1$
4: C Centroid
5: B $x^2 + y^2 = 5$
6: D Parallelogram
7: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{13}}$
