\begin{problem*}[4ea]
Let $P(-4,2)$ and $Q(2,-3)$ be two points in the plane.
\begin{parts}
\item Find the distance $d(P,Q)$ between $P$ and $Q$.
\begin{solution}[1in]
We use the distance formula
\[
    d(P,Q)=\sqrt{(2+4)^2+(-3-2)^2}=\sqrt{61}
\]
to obtained the required answer.
\end{solution}

\item Find the midpoint $M$ between $P$ and $Q$.
\begin{solution}[\sameVspace]
We use the midpoint formula
\[
    M=\left(\frac{-4+2}{2},\frac{2+(-3)}{2}\right)=\left(-1,-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)
\]
to obtained the required answer.
\end{solution}

\begin{problem}[5]
The circle $ x^2 + y^2 = 25 $ passes through
the point $P(3,4)$.  Let $\ell$ be the line passing though the origin and
the point $P$.  Find the equation of the line perpendicular to line $\ell$ and passing
through point $P$.
\begin{solution}[1in]
The slope of the line perpendicular to $\ell$ is $ m = -\tfrac{3}{4} $, the line
must pass through $(3,4)$; thus, the line is $ y-4 = -\tfrac{3}{4}(x-3) \implies
y = -\tfrac{3}{4} x + \tfrac{25}{4} $. Thus,
\[
    \text{Ans:}\quad\boxed{ y = -\tfrac{3}{4} x + \tfrac{25}{4} }
\]
This is the equation of the line tangent to the circle at $P(3,4)$.
\end{solution}
