    Section 1-8
    Class Notes: Coordinate Plane, Distance Formula, & Midpoint

    Review the main components of the coordinate plane as shown in the figure:

    Examples: Give the coordinates of each point:

    A ( ____, ____) B ( ____, ____) C ( ____, ____)

    D ( ____, ____) E ( ____, ____) G ( ____, ____)

    Which quadrant contains the following points:

    A: _____ B:_____ C:_____ D:_____ E:_____ G: _____

    Graph the following points:

    H (7 , 10) J (-5 , 12) K (-1 , -8)

    To find distance between two points on a coordinate plane:

     If Horizontal or Vertical Line: Use Ruler Postulate (count the spaces between the points)

     Not a Horizontal or Vertical Line: Use Distance Formula or Pythagorean Theorem

    Distance Formula
    ( x1 , y1 )
    The distance between any two points with coordinates
    ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) is given by the formula:
    ( x2 , y2 ) D  ( x2  x1 )2  ( y2  y1 )2

    EXAMPLE 1: Find the distance between T (5, 2) and R(4,1) to the nearest tenth.

    EXAMPLE 2: Find PQ if P(3, 5) and Q(4, 6) .

    Note: When two segments have the same length, they are said to be congruent. For example, if
    AB = BC, then we write AB  BC , which is read “segment AB is congruent to segment BC.”

    Midpoint: On a Number Line

    The coordinate of the midpoint is the AVERAGE of the coordinates of the endpoints
    ab
    The midpoint between a and b is:
    2

    Example 3: Find the midpoint between A and D.

    Midpoint: In the Coordinate Plane

    The coordinate of the midpoint between ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) is the average of the x coordinates
    and the average of the y coordinates:
    x x y y
    M = ( 1 2 , 1 2)
    2 2

    Example 4: QS has endpoints Q(3, 5) and S (7, 9) .


    Find the coordinates of its midpoint.

    Example 5: CD has endpoints C (2, 12) and D(10, 4) .


    Find the coordinates of its midpoint.
    4

    Use the midpoint formula to find the missing endpoint in the following examples.

    Example 6: The midpoint of AB is M (3, 4) . One endpoint is A(3, 2) . Find the
    coordinates of the other endpoint B .

    Step 1: Plug in everything given. Let the coordinates of B be ( x2 , y2 ) .

    Step 2: Set the x coordinate on the left equal to the


    x coordinate equation on the right. Do this for the
    y coordinates also.

    Step 3: Solve using algebra.

    Example 7: The midpoint of XY has coordinates (4, 6) . X has coordinates (2,  3) .
    Find the coordinates of Y .
