Find the distance and midpoint for the following coordinates. P(7.6 , 10.1) and Q(4.6 , 3.1)

1 answer:

8 0

Solving for the midpoint:

x - coordinate: (7.6 + 4.6)/2 = 6.1
y - coordinate: (10.1 + 3.1)/2 = 6.6

Midpoint: (6.1 , 6.6)

Solving for the distance:

Distance formula: sqrt( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 )

D = sqrt( (7.6 - 4.6)^2 + (10.1 - 3.1)^2 <span>)
D = sqrt( 3^2 + 7^2)
D = sqrt(58)
D = 7.62 units

Distance = 7.62 units</span>

Answer:

Final answer is slope = 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an old house has a basement stairway.

Stairway has steps with 7.25 inch vertical risers and 10 inch horizontal treads. Now we need to find about what is the slope of the stairway. Also round the answer to two decimal places.

$slope=\frac{rise}{run}=\frac{7.25}{10}=0.725$
