Answer: $\bold{\sqrt{74}}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

$\text{Use the distance formula: }d_AB=\sqrt{(x_A-x_B)^2+(y_A-y_B)^2}\\where\ (X_A, y_A)=(-3, -2)\\and\ (x_B,y_B)=(4, -7)\\\\\\d_AB=\sqrt{(-3-4)^2+[-2-(-7)]^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{(-7)^2+(5)^2}\\\\.\quad =\sqrt{49+25}\\\\.\quad =\boxed{\sqrt{74}}$

Use the given endpoint R and the midpoint M of segment RS to find the coordinates of the other endpoint S. (Hint: Use the midpoi

zimovet [89]

Using the given endpoint R (8,0)and the midpoint M (4,-5) , the other endpoint S is (0,-10)

Explanation :

Use the given endpoint R and the midpoint M of segment RS

R (8, 0 ) and M (4, -5 )

Let 'S' be (x2,y2)

Apply the midpoint formula

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\$

Endpoint R is (x1,y1) that is (8,0)

Substitute the values and make it equal to M(4,-5)

$(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )\\\\(\frac{8+x_2}{2},\frac{0+y_2}{2} )=(4,-5)\\\\\frac{8+x_2}{2}=4\\8+x_2=8\\x_2=8-8=0\\x_2=0\\\\\\\frac{0+y_2}{2} =-5\\y_2=-10$
