Section 12.1 Objectives 1 Use the Distance Formula 2 Use the Midpoint Formula
y P2 = (x2, y2) d(P1, P2) |y2 – y1| x P2 =(x1, y1) |x2 – x1| The Distance Formula The Distance Formula The distance between two points P1 = (x1, y1) and P2 = (x2, y2), is
The Distance Formula Example: Determine the distance between (3, 5) and (3, 3).
The Distance Formula Example: Find the distance between (– 6, – 6) and (– 5, – 2).
The Midpoint Formula The Midpoint Formula The midpoint M = (x, y) of the line segment from P1 = (x1, y1) to P2 = (x2, y2) is The midpoint of a line segment is the point located exactly halfway between the two endpoints of the line segment.
The Midpoint Formula y 8 x -8 8 -8 Example: Find the midpoint of the line segment joining P1 = (0, 8) and P2 =(4, – 6). M = (2, 1)
