Midpoint and Distance in the Coordinate Plane Flashcards
1
Q
What is a Coordinate Plane?
A
The plane in which points are drawn for graphing.
2
Q
How do you find a Midpoint?
A
M=(x1+x2)/2) and (y1+y2)/2)
3
Q
How do you find an Endpoint?
A
Find the difference in the coordinates of the first point and the midpoint and then add that difference to the midpoint to get the other endpoint.
4
Q
How do you find the distance of a line?
A
d=sqrt[(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
5
Q
What are the legs of a triangle?
A
The sides of a right triangle where the right angle sits.
6
Q
What is the other way of solving for the distance of a line?
A
Using the Pythagorean Theorem.
7
Q
What is the Hypotenuse?
A
The side across from the right angle that is solved for.
