Step 1
We are given that M is the midpoint of line segment PQ, which means PM = MQ = a. Similarly, R is the midpoint of line segment TS, which means TR = RS = b. Show more…

Show that if $M$ is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints $P\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$ and $Q\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right),$ then $d(P, M)+d(M, Q)=d(P, Q)$ and $d(P, M)=d(M, Q)$

Show that if M is the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2), then d(P,M) + d(M,Q) = d(P,Q) and d(P,M) = d(M,Q). To prove d(P,M) + d(M,Q) = d(P,Q), first find the d(P,Q). Suppose that P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) are two points in a coordinate plane, determine d(P,Q) using the distance formula. Choose the correct answer below. A. d(P,Q) = √((x1 - y1)² + (x2 - y2)²) B. d(P,Q) = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²) C. d(P,Q) = √((x1 - y2)² + (x2 - y1)²)
