Question

Find the distance between the two points an the midpoint of the line segment joining them. (9, 7) and (0, -33) the distance between the two points is

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the distance between two points on a straight line is expressed as

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Where

x2 represents final value of x on the horizontal axis

x1 represents initial value of x on the horizontal axis.

y2 represents final value of y on the vertical axis.

y1 represents initial value of y on the vertical axis.

From the points given,

x2 = 0

x1 = 9

y2 = - 33

y1 = 7

Therefore,

Distance = √(0 - 9)² + (- 33 - 7)²

Distance = √(- 9² + (- 40)² = √(81 + 1600) = √1681

Distance = 41

The formula determining the midpoint of a line is expressed as

[(x1 + x2)/2 , (y1 + y2)/2]

[(9 + 0) , (7 - 33)]

= (9, - 26]
