To plot a point, the x-coordinate indicates how far to move left or right from the
origin
A negative y-coordinate means you move upward from the origin.

What formula is used to calculate the distance between two points in the coordinate plane?
d
=
d =
d
=
\sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} +
(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}
The distance formula is given by
d = \sqrt{(x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1})^{2}}</latex>
To calculate the distance between two points, you first identify the coordinates and then apply the
distance formula
.
What is the definition of the midpoint of a line segment?
Halfway between endpoints
The midpoint formula is
Midpoint = \left( \frac{x_{1} + x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1} + y_{2}}{2} \right)</latex>
To find the midpoint, you average the x-coordinates and the
y-coordinates
of the endpoints.
