Question
For the points $P$ and $Q,$ find ( $a$ ) the distance $d(P, Q)$ and ( $b$ ) the coordinates of the midpoint M of line segment PQ. See Examples 2 and 5(a).$$P(3 \sqrt{2}, 4 \sqrt{5}), Q(\sqrt{2},-\sqrt{5})$$
Step 1
We can use the distance formula which is given by: \[d(P, Q) = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\] where \(P(x_1, y_1)\) and \(Q(x_2, y_2)\). Show more…
