Distance
Two Points The Distance Formula
Example Find the distance between A(4,8) and B(1,12) A (4, 8) B (1, 12)
YOU TRY!! A. (2, 7) and (11, 9) B. (-5, 8) and (2, - 4) Find the distance between: A. (2, 7) and (11, 9) B. (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)
Midpoint Formula Used to find the center of a line segment
Example Find the midpoint between A(4,8) and B(1,12) A (4, 8) B (1, 12)
YOU TRY!! Find the midpoint between: A) (2, 7) and (14, 9) B) (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)
