E N D
Example • Find the distance between A(4,8) and B(1,12) A (4, 8) B (1, 12)
YOU TRY!! • Find the distance between: • A. (2, 7) and (11, 9) • B. (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)
Midpoint Formula • Used to find the center of a line segment
Example • Find the midpoint between A(4,8) and B(1,12) A (4, 8) B (1, 12)
YOU TRY!! • Find the midpoint between: • A) (2, 7) and (14, 9) • B) (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)
Example • Find y so that the distance between the two points is 10. • (-4,6) and (2,y)
Solution • Plug (-4,6) and (2,y) into the equation and set it equal to 10.
