Distance Formula

Here are the key steps to solve this problem using the midpoint formula: 1) The distance formula gives the length of the line segment between the two points as 2 units. 2) One point is given as (3,0) 3) Let the second point be (-1,y) 4) Use the midpoint formula: Midpoint = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2 5) Plug in the points and set up the equation: (3 - 1)/2 = (0 + y)/2 6) Solve for y to find the possible y-coordinates. The possible y-coordinates that satisfy the midpoint formula are y = 0

b. RJ =

3. Nidora wants to go to a computer shop for her assignment. There


are two shops that are at coordinates A (4, 3) and B(-5,-2). Her sister
Tinidora suggested that she should go to computer shop A because it is
nearer their house which is at (-1, 2). Is Tinidora correct? Justify your
answer.
ASSIGNMENT
Solve the following problem.
1. Strike knows that the distance between two points is
2units. If one of the points has coordinates (3, 0) and the
x-coordinate of the second point is -1, what is the y-
coordinate of the second point? There are two possible
answers.

B. Study: The Midpoint Formula


2. What is the Midpoint Formula?
3. How do you determine the coordinates of the midpoint of
a line segment?
