1. Distance and Midpoint

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Distance between two points: The length of the straight line segment connecting two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2).
    Formula: (x2x1)2+(y2y1)2\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}

  • Midpoint of a line segment: The point exactly halfway between two points (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) and (x2,y2)(x_2, y_2).
    Formula: (x1+x22,y1+y22)\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}\right)

  • Coordinate plane: A two-dimensional surface with an x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical), used to plot points, lines, and shapes.

  • Line segment: The part of a line bounded by two endpoints.

  • Distance formula derivation: Based on the Pythagorean theorem, used to find the straight-line distance between two points in the coordinate plane.
