Question

Can someone explain/ solve 5-7 please

Answer 1

To find the midpoint of two points, we simply use the midpoint formula:$\frac{(-1 + 7)}{2}, \frac{(5 - 9)}{2}$

6/2 = 3

-4/2 = -2

The midpoint of line AB is (3, -2)

We can apply the same thing to the second line.

3/2

-4/2

(1.5, -2) is the midpoint for line ST

For 7, we must use the distance formula, which is:

d = √(x.2 - x.1)² + (y.2 - y.1)²

Plug in the appropriate values.

d = √(8 - 2)² + (-5 + 3)²

d = √40

40 cannot be simplified any further without becoming a decimal.

However, if you need the decimal, the distance between points E and F is equal to 6.32, or √40

I hope this helps!
