The nine points are first sorted by x-coordinate: ((-5,-2),(-3,4),(-1,2),(1,1),(1,2),(2,-1),(2,3),(3,-3),(3,2)). The median x-value is between ((1,2)) and ((2,-1)), so the set is divided into a left half (L={(-5,-2),(-3,4),(-1,2),(1,1),(1,2)}) and a right half (R={(2,-1),(2,3),(3,-3),(3,2)}). In the left half, sort by x again and split around the median between ((-1,2)) and ((1,1)). (L_1={(-5,-2),(-3,4),(-1,2)}) and (L_2={(1,1),(1,2)}). In (L_1) all pairs are checked: distance between ((-5,-2)) and ((-3,4)) is (\sqrt{(2)^2+(6)^2}=\sqrt{40}), between ((-5,-2)) and ________ ___ ___ _____ _________ ____ ____.
