P(7,11), Q(-2,4)
(1) To find the
length :
The distance betwen two ponits (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given
by:
d = sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 +(y2-y1)^2} .
So
the distance PQ = sqrt{(-2-7)^2+(4-11)^2} = sqrt{(-9)^2 +(-7)^2} = sqrt{81+49} =
sqrt130.
2) The slope m of the line joining the two points
(x1,y1)and(x2,y2) is given by:
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
.
Therefore slope of the line joining the line (7,11) and (-2,4)
is given by: m = (4-11)/(-2-7) = -7/-9 = 7/9. So the slope is m =
7/9.
3)
The mid point of the two points
(x1,y1) and (x2, y2) is ((x1+x2)/2 , (y1+y2)/2).
Therefore the mid
point of (7,11) and (-2,4) is ((7-2)/2 , (11+4)/2) = ( 5/2 , 15/2).
