2. Cartesian Plane Coordinates are written in the following order

8. Definition: Midpoint/Distance Midpoint – The MIDPOINT of a segment is the point halfway between the endpoints of the segment. May think of it as the coordinate the averages the x and the y. Distance – The length from point A to point B. Note that the length from A to B is the same as the length from B to A

22. Slope The SLOPE of a line is a number determined by any two points on the line. This number describes how steep the line is. The greater the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line.

23. Slope The SLOPE of a line is a number determined by any two points on the line. This number describes how steep the line is. The greater the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line.

24. Slope

29. Homework Plot the following sets of coordinate, each on their own set of axis. Then, compute the midpoint, distance and slope between the following points. Once you have completed all 4 points describe the different types of slopes that you calculated. Example: Positive slope – the incline goes up as you go from left to right.
