The graph of the line segment PQ is attached. To find the length, we have to use distance formula which is

[tex] d = \sqrt{ (x_{2} -x_{1} )^2 + (y_{2} - y_{1} )^2  } [/tex]

[tex] PQ = \sqrt{ (2-(-2))^2 + (4- (-1))^2 } = \sqrt{ (2+2)^2 + (4+1)^2 } [/tex]

[tex] PQ = \sqrt{16+25} = \sqrt{41} [/tex]

To find the midpoint,we have to use the formula

[tex] ( \frac{x_{1}+ x_{2} }{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+ y_{2} }{2} ) = (\frac{-2+2}{2} , \frac{-1+4}{2} ) [/tex]

[tex] = ( \frac{0}{2} , \frac{3}{2} ) = (0 , \frac{3}{2} ) [/tex]
