Question 12

Coordinate Geometry

Given that M is the midpoint of T(2, 4) and Q(−8, 6), find the length MQ.

  1. A.√24 units
  2. B.√26 units
  3. C.√28 units
  4. D.√30 units
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (√26 units)

Explanation

M = (−3, 5). MQ = √((−8 + 3)² + (6 − 5)²) = √(25 + 1) = √26.
