The Problem

Consider the two points (4,-3)and (10,7). The distance between them is: _____

The x co-ordinate of the midpoint of the line segment that joins them is: _____

The y co-ordinate of the midpoint of the line segment that joins them is: _____

Answer provided by our tutors

d=(-3-4)^2+(10-7)^2 square root

d=49+9 square root =7.615

b)The x co-ordinate of the midpoint of the line segment that joins them is: __0.5___

c)The y co-ordinate of the midpoint of the line segment that joins them is: ___8.5__

DISTANCE

A.   2*SQRT(34)   OR  11.66     (ROUND TO WHATEVER PLACE YOU WANT)

 

b.   x co-ordinate of mid point         = (10+4)/2 = 7

c.     y co-ordinate of mid point       =  (-3 + 7)/2   =  2
