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 $P Q$.$$P(6,-2), Q(4,6)$$
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…
