Find the distance between p and q and the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining p and q. p=(5,-6) and q= (2,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used to find the length of the segment:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²) = √((2-5)² +(6-(-6))²)

  d = √((-3)² +12²) = √(9+144) = √153

  d = 3√17 ≈ 12.369 . . . units distance between P and Q

__

The midpoint is the average of the end point coordinates:

  (P+Q)/2 = ((5, -6) +(2, 6))/2 = (5+2, -6+6)/2

  = (7/2, 0) . . . . midpoint of PQ
