Question

Find the distance between the points P1(–1, 1) and P2(4, –4). Then, find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment that has endpoints at P1 and P2. Round the values to two decimal places

Answer 1

First find the distance. If one point is -1,1 and the other is 4,-4, subtract x coordinates and y coordinates.

Answer 2

-1-4 and 1-4
Tell me what you get.

Answer 3

-5 and -3? @inowalst

Answer 4

Right. So add those two..

Answer 5

-8?

Answer 6

Right, but we just use the number positive. So the distance between both points is 8.
