  1. Section 2.1 The Distance and Midpoint Formulas

  2. y axis x axis origin Rectangular or Cartesian Coordinate System

  3. Let'splot the point (6,4) Let's plot the point (-6,0) (0,7) (6,4) (-6,0) (-3,-5) Let's plot the point (-3,-5) Let's plot the point (0,7)

  4. Quadrant IIx < 0, y > 0 Quadrant I x > 0, y > 0 Quadrant III x < 0, y < 0 Quadrant IVx > 0, y < 0

  5. Horizontal or Vertical Segments

  6. Find the distance d between the points (2,  4) and ( 1, 3).

  7. Find the midpoint of the line segment from P1 = (4, 2) to P2 = (2, 5). Plot the points and their midpoint. P1 M P2
