Question

Line segments JK and JL in the xy-coordinate plan both have a common endpoint J(-4,11) and midpoints at M1 (2,16) and M2 (-3,5), respectively. What is the distance between M1 and M2? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

the first part of the question is not needed
we only need to know M1 and M2
(y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2=(your answer)^2
(5-16)^2+(-3-2)^2=(your answer)^2
(-11)^2+(-5)^2=(your answer)^2
121+25=(your answer)^2
146=(your answer)^2
√146=12.0830459735945721
nearest tenth=12.1
