1. Find the length of the segment AB given the coordinates of A and B on a number line.
2. The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula: M = ( , ).
3. Find the length of the segment CD with endpoints C(2, 7) and D(-4, -1) using the distance formula.
4. If M is the midpoint of segment PQ, and P is at (-3, 5) and M is at (1, 2), what are the coordinates of Q?
(5, -1)
(-7, 8)
(-1, 3.5)
(4, -3)
5. A map shows three towns: A, B, and C. Town A is at (1, 1), Town B is at (1, 5), and Town C is at (4, 1). Calculate the perimeter of the triangle formed by these three towns.
6. The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) can be negative.
