This document provides instructions and examples for using coordinate geometry formulas like the distance, slope, and midpoint formulas to prove geometric properties of shapes on a coordinate plane. It lists the distance, slope, and midpoint formulas and outlines the steps to take when developing a coordinate geometry proof, including drawing and labeling the graph, stating the formulas, showing all work, and providing a concluding statement. It then provides 4 example proofs to demonstrate this process.

When developing a coordinate geometry proof:
1. Draw and label the graph. 2. State the formulas you will be using. 3. Show ALL work. 4. Have a concluding sentence stating what you have proven and why it is true.
1. Given: Prove:
is isosceles
2. Prove: is isosceles
3. Given: Right ABC with vertices
A (3, 2), B (3, 1), and C (1, 5). Prove: Prove that the midpoint of the hypotenuse of ABC is equidistant form the three vertices.
4. Given: Parallelogram ABCD with vertices
A (0, 4), B (7, 1), C (9, 5), and D (2, 8). Prove: The sum of the squares of the sides of p-gram ABCD is equal to the sum of the squares of the diagonals.
