The Distance Formula d = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2 This formula is used to determine the distance between two points in the coordinate plane.
Example: Find the length of RT if R(5,2) and T(-4,-1). d = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2 Remember, there could be an exact length and a decimal approximate length.
Your Turn: Find the length of QW if Q(5,8) and W(-3,-1). d = (x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2

Example: Find the midpoint of the segment below: -4 -14
The Midpoint of a Segment in the Coordinate Plane x1+ x2 2 y1+ y2 2 , Midpoint =
Example: Find the midpoint of AB if A(5,8) and B(-3,2). x1+ x2 2 y1+ y2 2 , Midpoint =
Example: The midpoint of AB is M(3,4). One endpoint is A(-3,-2). Find the coordinate of the other endpoint B. x1+ x2 2 y1+ y2 2 , Midpoint =
Definitions: Perpendicular – forms a right angle at the intersection. Symbol: Trisect– cuts into 3 equal pieces. • You could trisect an angle or a segment.
Definitions: Median of a triangle – a segment which has one endpoint at a vertex of the triangle and the other endpoint at the middle of the opposite side.
Think: The midpoint of TS is the origin. Point T is located in Quadrant II. What quadrant contains point S?
