The midpoint of the coordinate pq is (-7.5, -5.5) while the distance between the two coordinate points is 5√2
How to calculate the distance between two points and midpoint?
The midpoint of a line is the coordinate point that divides the coordinates into two equal parts.
The formula for calculating the midpoint is expressed as:
[tex]m(x,y)=(\frac{x_1+x_1}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex]
Given the coordinate points p(-10, -8) and (-5, -3).
Calculate the midpoint of pq
[tex]m(x,y)=(\frac{-10-5}{2} ,\frac{-8-3}{2} )\\m(x,y)=(\frac{-15}{2} ,\frac{-11}{2} )\\m(x,y)=(-7.5,-5.5)[/tex]
Hence the midpoint of the coordinate pq is (-7.5, -5.5)
Determine the distance pq
pq = √(-3+8)²+(-5+10)²
pq = √(5)²+(5)²
pq = √50
pq = 5√2
Hence the distance between the point pq is 5√2
