The document provides information about reviewing radical operations, distance and midpoint formulas, and examples of using these formulas to solve problems. It includes:
- Examples of using the distance formula to find the distance between two points when all coordinates are known, and using three coordinates and the distance to find the unknown coordinate.
- The definition of a midpoint as the point halfway between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of two endpoints.
- The midpoint formula for finding the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the midpoint using the endpoints' coordinates.
- An example of using a known midpoint and one endpoint to find the other unknown endpoint.
2. Test Review(6)

5. The Distance Formula
There are two different types of problems to solve withe
the distance formula.
A. All four of the coordinates are known. Solve for the
distance.
B. Three of four coordinates and the distance is known.
Solve for the fourth coordinate.
6. Example 1. Find the distance between the two points.
(-2,5) and (3,-1)
• Let (x1,y1) = (-2,5) and (x2,y2) = (3,-1)
A. All four of the coordinates are known. Solve for the distance.
8. B. Three of four coordinates and the distance is known.
Solve for the fourth coordinate.
9. B. Three of four coordinates and the distance is known.
Solve for the fourth coordinate.
10. MIDPOINT
The midpoint of a segment is half way
between the x’s and half way between the y’s
You can call it the average

11. To find the midpoint
of the line along the x
axis..
Add the |beginning
coordinate| and the
|ending coordinate|,
then ÷ 2
To find the midpoint
of the line along the y
axis, find the ‘average’
y value
The average y value of
the line segment is...
The mid-point is at
(0,5)
What are the x
coordinates of the end
points of the line
segment?
The average x value of
the line segment is...
What are the y
coordinates of the end
points of the line
segment?
The mid-point
coordinates are.. (1,0)
The mid-point
coordinates are...

What If We Knew The Midpoint Of A Segment And One
Endpoint? How Would We Find The Other Endpoint?
Think Of The Formula As:
