Find the distance between p and q and the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment joining p and q if p(2,7), q(4,1).

distance= 6.3245 and midpoints: x=3 & y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

using distance formula:

S=√(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

S=√(4-2)² + (1-7)²

S=√(2)² + (-6)²

S=√4+36

S=√40

S=6.3245

For midpoints,

x=x₁+x₂/2

x= 2+4/2 = 6/2 = 3

y=y₁+y₂/2

y= 7+1/2 = 8/2 = 4
