10.1 The Distance and Midpoint Formulas Geometry Review! What is the difference between the symbols AB and AB? The Distance Formula The Distance d between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is : Find the distance between the two points. (-2,5) and (3,-1) Let (x1,y1) = (-2,5) and (x2,y2) = (3,-1) Classify the Triangle using the distance formula (as scalene, isosceles or equilateral) The Midpoint Formula The midpoint between the two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is: Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the perpendicular bisector of the segment whose endpoints are C(-2,1) and D(1,4). First, find the midpoint of CD. (-1/2, 5/2) Now, find the slope of CD. m=1 * Since the line we want is perpendicular to the given segment, we will use the opposite reciprocal slope for our equation. Assignment * * * What you should learn: Goal 1 Goal 2 Find the distance between two points and find the midpoint of the line segment joining two points. Classify a Triangle. 10.1 The Distance and Midpoint Formulas Goal 3 Write an equation for a perpendicular bisector of a line segment. Segment AB The length of Segment AB Goal 1 A B C How long is a? 4 How long is b? 4 Pythagorean Formula: A2 + b2 = c2 or c = √(a2 +b2) How long is c? 5.7 A = x2 – x1 and B = y2 –y1 Because AB=BC the triangle is ISOSCELES Goal 2 Find the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are (6,-2) (2,-9) Goal 3 (y-y1)=m(x-x1) or y=mx+b Use (x1 ,y1)=(-1/2,5/2) and m=-1 (y-5/2)=-1(x+1/2) or 5/2=-1(-1/2)+b y-5/2=-x-1/2 or 5/2=1/2+b y=-x-1/2+5/2 or 5/2-1/2=b y=-x+2 or 2=b y=-x+2
