  1. 9.1 Apply the Distance and Midpoint Formulas Algebra II

  2. Geometry Review! • What is the difference between the symbols AB and AB? Segment AB The length of Segment AB

  3. The Distance Formula • The Distance d between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is :

  4. 1)Find the distance between the two points. • (-2,5) and (3,-1) • Let (x1,y1) = (-2,5) and (x2,y2) = (3,-1)

  5. 2)Classify the Triangle using the distance formula (as scalene, isosceles or equilateral) Because AB=BC the triangle is ISOSCELES

  6. The Midpoint Formula • The midpoint between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is:

  7. 3)Find the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (6,-2) & (2,-9)

  8. Steps to write an equation in slope-intercept form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment • 1.) Find the midpoint of segment • 2.) Find the slope of segment • 3.) Write the opposite & reciprocal slope. • 4.) Use either point-slope formula or • slope intercept form (2)

  9. 4)Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment whose endpoints are C(-2,1) and D(1,4). • First, find the midpoint of CD. (-1/2, 5/2) • Now, find the slope of CD. m=1 * Since the line we want is perpendicular to the given segment, we will use the opposite reciprocal slope for our equation.

  10. (y-y1)=m(x-x1) or y=mx+b Use (x1 ,y1)=(-1/2,5/2) and m=-1 (y-5/2)=-1(x+1/2) or 5/2=-1(-1/2)+b y-5/2=-x-1/2 or 5/2=1/2+b y=-x-1/2+5/2 or 5/2-1/2=b y=-x+2 or 2=b y=-x+2
