    Distance and Midpoint Formula

    What is the distance


    between the 2 points?
    (-2,6)

    (5,3)

    How could
    you find the
    distance?
    The Distance Formula
    Distance between two points (x₁, y ₁) and (x₂, y ₂) is:
    • The ______________________________

    • The distance formula is based on the Pythagorean Theorem,


    a2 + b2 = c2, a formula for the three sides of a right triangle.
    The Distance Formula
    "The Distance Formula"
    sung to the tune of "On Top of Old Smokey"

     The distance between When finding the distance


    any two points with Between the two points,
    Subtract the two x's
    coordinates (x1,y1) an The same for the y's.
    Now square these two numbers,
    (x2,y2) is given by the And find out their sum.
    following formula: When you take the square root
    Then you are all done!

    2 2
    d  ( x2  x1 )  ( y2  y1 )
    Example 1
     Find the distance between the points with
    coordinates (3,5) and (6,4).

    d  ( x2  x1 )2  ( y2  y1 )2
    2
    d  (6  3)  (4  5) 2 d  10

     3.16 units
    d  (3)  (1)

    d  9 1
    Example 2

     Determine if triangle A(-3,4)


    ABC with vertices B(5,2)
    A(-3,4), B(5,2) and
    C(-1,-5) is an isosceles
    triangle. (Hint: An
    isosceles triangle must
    have at least 2 sides of
    equal length.)
    C(-1,-5)

    AB  (5  3)  (2  4) 2 BC  (1  5)  (5  2)
    2
     (8)  ( 2) 2  (6) 2  (7) 2
    = 64+4  68 = 36+49  85

    2 2 A(-3,4)
    AC  (1  3)  (5  4)
    2 2
    B(5,2)
     (2)  ( 9)
    = 4+81  85

    BC and AC have the same length so


    triangle ABC is Isosceles.

     The coordinates of the
    midpoint of a line segment When finding the midpoint of two
    points on a graph,
    whose endpoints are (x1, y1) Add the two x's and cut their sum in
    and (x2, y2) are given by the half.
    Add up the y's and divide 'em by a
    following formula: two,
    Now write 'em as an ordered pair
    It’s the middle of the two.
