Question

For the point P(-19, -19) and Q(-14, -14), find the distance d(P,Q) and the

coordinates of the midpoint M of the segment PQ.

Answer 1

Finding distance

Using the distance formula,

`PQ=\sqrt{(-19-(-14))^(2)+(-19-(-14))^(2)}=√(25+25)=\boxed{5√(2)}`

Midpoint

`\left((-19-14)/(2), (-19-14)/(2) \right)=\boxed{\left(-(33)/(2), -(33)/(2) \right)}`
