Q

Distance formula : d= the square root of (x1-x2) squared + (y1-y2) squared

A

This is used to find the distance between two points on a rectangular coordinate system when solved simplify the root answer at the end

Q

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

A

This is used to find the middle point between two points
First you solve the top of the fractions then divide by two or simplify the fractions that will give you the midpoint

Q

Slope formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

A

Slope is the rate of change between two points
The y’s are the change of height and ten x’s are the change of length
