USE THE MIDPOINT FORMULA TO
FIND MIDPOINT OF A SEGMENT IN
THE COORDINATE PLANE (1.3)

Recall from yesterday, that a midpoint is the point that divides a

segment into _____________ congruent pieces.
Similarly, a segment bisector is a point, ray, line segment, or plane
that intersects the segment at its ___________________.
Name the midpoint. Then name the segment
bisector. Then nd the length of segments
RS and AB.

Sometimes we will need to combine our previously-learned algebra

skills and our newfound geometry knowledge to solve problems.

Welcome to the wonderful world of.Gealgebra!

When we are given the coordinates of two endpoints of a segment,

we can use the Midpoint Formula to calculate the coordinates of
the segments midpoint. (We are really just nd the _____________
of the x and y coordinates).

Find the coordinates of midpoint M.

A segment has endpoints at C(-8, -1) and D(2, 4). Find the
coordinates of the midpoint of this segment.

Sometimes we will be given one endpoint of a segment and the

midpoint. We will then have to gure out where the other endpoint
would be located. Were working backwards!
A segment has one endpoint at J(1, 4) and a midpoint at M(2, 1).
Find the coordinates of the other endpoint.

A segment has one endpoint at X(-2, 0) and a midpoint at M(-5, 3).

Find the coordinates of the other endpoint.

Find the midpoint of a segment with endpoints at (1, 2) and (7, 8).

The midpoint of a segment is (-1, -2). If one endpoint is (4, 4),

what are the coordinates of the other endpoint?

USE THE DISTANCE FORMULA TO
FIND LENGTH OF A SEGMENT IN
THE COORDINATE PLANE (1.3)

What is the distance from T to R?

We can use the Distance Formula to calculate the distance

between two points.

d=

( x1 x2 ) + ( y1 y2 )

Find the approximate (decimals allowed) length of the segment

with endpoints at R(3, 2) and T(-4, 3).

Sometimes we will need to give an exact answer. This means no

decimals allowed! You probably called this simplied radical
form last year. Lets review, shall we?!

Find the exact (no decimals allowed) length of the segment with
endpoints at J(-3, 0) and M(2, 5). If you are having a hard time using
the Distance Formula, try graphing rst and making a right
triangle.

While training for a marathon, you decide to run from your home
at E, through the park to C, along the road to D, and then straight
back home. Approximately how far will you run?
