1. 1-8 The Coordinate Plane SWBAT: Find the Distance between two points in the Coordinate Plane. Find the Coordinates of a Midpoint of a segment

2. The Coordinate Plane and Geometry In Geometry we think of a Point as a dot and a Line as a series of points. In Coordinate Geometry you describe a point as an ordered pair (x,y) called the coordinates of the point.

3. The Distance Formula In order to find the distance between two ordered pairs on the coordinate plane we can use the distance formula. The distance formula can be derived from the Pythagorean Theorem

6. Use the Distance Formula Find the distance between points R and T to the nearest tenth R(2, 3) T(5, 7)

7. Use the Distance Formula Find the distance between points R and T to the nearest tenth R(-4, -1) T(5, 2)

8. You Try! Find the distance between points R and S to the nearest tenth 1. R(-2, 6) S(6, -2) 2. R(-3,-3) S(-7,4)
