Answer:

(-2 , 2)

Explanation:

A(-8 , 2) = (x1 , y1)

B(4 , -2) = (x2 , y2)

midpoint = (x1 + x2/2 , y1 + y2/2)

=(-8 + 4/2 , 2-(-2)/2)

=(-4/2 , 2+2/2)

(-2 , 2)

(3 , 7) = (x1 , y1)

(9 , 2) = (x2 , y2)

distance of PQ =
√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

=
√((9 - 3)^2 + (2 - 7)^2)

=
√((6)^2 + (-5)^2)

=
√(36 + 25)

=
√(61)
