Hi!
We are given the information found in the picture below.
Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.
The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.
To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where and
are 2 legs of the triangle, and
is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
We know and
and want
Therefore, is approximately
Answer:
The answer is
<h2>( 4 , - 1)</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula
where
(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points
From the question the points are
(2,-4) and (6,2)
The midpoint is
We have the final answer as
<h3>( 4 , - 1)</h3>Hope this helps you
