Distance Formula

Calculates the straight-line distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) using D = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Midpoint Formula

Finds the midpoint M between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) using M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Equation of a Circle

The general equation is (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r², where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius.

Study Notes

Distance and Midpoint Formula

  • The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) in a coordinate plane is calculated using the formula: D = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

  • This formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem.

  • It's used to find the straight-line distance between two points.

  • The midpoint of a line segment connecting two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is calculated using the formula: M = ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2)

  • This formula finds the center point between two given points.

Equation of a Circle

  • The general equation of a circle with center (h, k) and radius r is: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²
  • h and k are the coordinates of the circle's center.
  • r is the radius of the circle.
  • Circumference (C) of a circle is calculated as C = 2πr
  • Area (A) of a circle is calculated as A = πr²
  • Standard Form of a Circle's Equation: (x - h)² + (y - k)² = r² (If the equation is given in general quadratic form)
