Distance Find the distance between the 2 points (3, 4) 4 What theorem ? Pythagorean (0, 0) 3 c b a Why not ± ? Distance Distance Formula:
Ex 1) Find the distance between (2, –1) and (9, 1) (x1, y1) (x2, y2)
T.O.O Ex 2) Find the distance between (x1, y1) (x2, y2)
Ex 3) Find the distance between(a, b) and (0, b) (x1, y1) (x2, y2)
Midpoint Formula (3, 4) approx What does midpoint mean? Middle (0, 0) Midpoint Formula: Add them up & divide by 2 Midpoint is + Distance is –
Ex 4) Find the midpoint of (6, 4) and (2, 8) Midpoint Formula:
Ex 5) If the midpoint is (–1, 1) and one endpoint is (–6, 2), find the other endpoint. Midpoint = (–1, 1) (x1, y1) = (–6, 2) Find (x2, y2) Set each part = to each other
Ex 6) Find the equation in Standard Form of the perpendicular bisector of AB for the points A(–2, 1) and B(1, –3). Perp. Bisector: Opp. recip. slope & goes through midpoint. Find the slope of the line. Find the opp. recip. slope. Find the midpoint of the 2 points Perp. Bis. has slope and goes thru point
Slope: Point: Use slope formula again: S.F.: No Fractions Ax + By = C A is (+) (2) (2) (2) (2)
T.O.O. Ex 7) Find the midpoint and distance of (–a, b) and (2a, 4b) Midpoint Formula: Distance Formula:
