The document discusses the distance formula, midpoint formula, and provides an example of a coordinate proof. It defines the distance and midpoint formulas, showing how to calculate the distance between two points and the midpoint of a line segment. It then works through an example of finding the midpoint of a line between two points. Finally, it presents an example coordinate proof, using the midpoint formula to prove that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other.

Formula With Mam Jude Mendoza The Distance Formula The Distance Formula ◼ The distance between any two points with coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is given by the following formula:
d = ( x2 − x1 ) + ( y2 − y1 ) 2 2 What is the distance between the 2 points? (-2,6)
(5,3) Group Activity ◼ Determine if triangle ABC with vertices A(-3,4), B(5,2) and C(-1,-5) is an isosceles triangle. (Hint: An isosceles triangle must have at least 2 sides of equal length.) Group Activity ◼ Determine if triangle A(-3,4) ABC with vertices B(5,2) A(-3,4), B(5,2) and C(-1,-5) is an isosceles triangle. (Hint: An isosceles triangle must have at least 2 sides of equal length.) C(-1,-5) AB = (5 − −3) + (2 − 4) 2 2 BC = (−1 − 5) 2 + (−5 − 2) 2
= (8) + ( −2) 2 2 = ( −6) + ( −7) 2 2
= 64+4 = 68 = 36+49 = 85
A(-3,4) AC = (−1 − −3) + (−5 − 4) 2 2
B(5,2) = (2) 2 + ( −9) 2 = 4+81 = 85
BC and AC have the same
lengths, so triangle ABC is Isosceles. C(-1,-5) Coordinate Proof With Mam Jude Mendoza A coordinate proof is a style of proof that uses coordinate geometry and algebra. The first step of a coordinate proof is to position the given figure in the plane. You can use any position, but some strategies can make the steps of the proof simpler. What is the midpoint of the line?

How could you find the midpoint? The Midpoint Formula With Mam Jude Mendoza The Midpoint Formula ◼ The coordinates of the midpoint "The Midpoint Formula" sung to the tune of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" of a line segment whose endpoints are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) When finding the midpoint of two points on a graph, are given by the following Add the two x's and cut their sum in formula: half. Add up the y's and divide 'em by a two, Now write 'em as an ordered pair It’s the middle of the two. 𝑥1 + 𝑥2 𝑦1 + 𝑦2 (𝑥, 𝑦) = , 2 2 What is the midpoint of the line?
