Question
Find(a) the distance between P and Q and (b) the coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment joining P and Q$$P(-2,5), Q(4,-3)$$
Step 1
Step 1: The distance between two points P(x1, y1) and Q(x2, y2) in a plane is given by the formula: \[D = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}\] Substitute the given coordinates of points P and Q into the formula: \[D = \sqrt{(4 - (-2))^2 + ((-3) - 5)^2}\] Show more…
