DISTANCE FORMULA
How do we get the Distance Formula from the Pythagorean Theorem? The horizontal distance is the difference in x- coordinates: (x 2 – x 1 ) The vertical distance is the difference in y- coordinates: (y 2 – y 1 ) The Pythagorean Theorem says Taking the square root of both sides gives
MIDPOINT FORMULA
PRACTICE these formulas a. Find the distance between each pair of points. b. Find the midpoint of each pair of points. 1) (2, 3) and (5, 7) 2) (-1, 3) and (5,-8)
