Determine the distance between the given points using the distance formula.
[tex] \begin{align} & \bold{Formula:} \\ & \quad \boxed{\rm d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2\,}} \end{align} [/tex]
- [tex] d = \sqrt{(14-2)^2 + (8-3)^2\,} [/tex]
- [tex] d = \sqrt{(12)^2 + (5)^2\,} [/tex]
- [tex] d = \sqrt{144 + 25\,} [/tex]
- [tex] d = \sqrt{169\,} [/tex]
Therefore, the distance between points P and Q is 13 units.
Find the Midpoint of the segment PQ using the midpoint formula.
[tex] \begin{align} & \bold{Formula:} \\ & \quad \boxed{\rm Midpoint = \bigg(\frac{x_1+x_2}2,\,\frac{y_1+y_2}2\bigg)} \end{align} [/tex]
- [tex] \rm Midpoint = \bigg(\frac{2+14}2,\,\frac{3+8}2\bigg) \\ [/tex]
- [tex] \rm Midpoint = \bigg(\frac{16}2,\,\frac{11}2\bigg) \\ [/tex]
- [tex] \rm Midpoint = (8,\,5.5) \\ [/tex]
Therefore, the coordinates of the midpoint between the segment PQ is (8, 5.5)
