Day 8: Shortest Distance Between Two Points
Unit 3: Coordinate Geometry Did you know that the fortune cookie was invented in San Francisco?
2
Learning Goals To be able to calculate the distance from a point to a line
3
The shortest distance between a point and a line is a straight line
4
It is also a perpendicular line
5
Steps Sketch! Find the slope of the line segment
The perpendicular slope = the negative reciprocal Use this slope and the point given to solve for 𝑏 Give equation in 𝑦 = 𝑚𝑥 + 𝑏 form Find the point of intersection between the two lines Calculate the distant between the given point and the point of intersection
6
Find the shortest distance from the point B (−1, 3) to the line 𝑦=−𝑥+5.
7
Find the shortest distance from the point B (−1, 3) to the line 𝑦=−𝑥+5.
8
Success Criteria I CAN use perpendicular slope to create an equation
I CAN solve the point of intersection of two lines I can calculate the distance between two points
