    Study Notes

    Distance Formula

    Definition

    The distance formula is a mathematical formula used to calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane.

    Formula

    The distance formula is:

    √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

    where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

    Midpoint Formula

    Definition

    The midpoint formula is used to find the midpoint of a line segment.

    Formula

    The midpoint formula is:

    ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

    where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints of the line segment.

    Graphing On The Coordinate Plane

    Quadrants

    • The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants:
      1. Quadrant I: x > 0, y > 0
      2. Quadrant II: x < 0, y > 0
      3. Quadrant III: x < 0, y < 0
      4. Quadrant IV: x > 0, y < 0

    Plotting Points

    • To plot a point, identify the x-coordinate (left/right) and y-coordinate (up/down) and mark the intersection.

    Coordinate Geometry

    Coordinate Plane

    • A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane with a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis.
    • Each point on the plane is identified by an ordered pair (x, y).

    Coordinate Geometry Formulas

    • Distance Formula: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
    • Midpoint Formula: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)

    Pythagorean Theorem

    Definition

    The Pythagorean Theorem is a mathematical concept that describes the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right-angled triangle.

    Formula

    The Pythagorean Theorem formula is:

    a^2 + b^2 = c^2

    where a and b are the lengths of the legs of the right triangle, and c is the length of the hypotenuse.

    Distance Formula

    • Calculates the distance between two points in a coordinate plane.
    • Formula: √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

    Midpoint Formula

    • Finds the midpoint of a line segment.
    • Formula: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two endpoints.
