Distance and Midpoint Formulas

Front

What is the distance formula used to find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

What is the midpoint formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The midpoint formula is: M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

What is the significance of the distance formula in coordinate geometry?

Back

It allows us to calculate the straight-line distance between two points in a Cartesian plane.

How do you round the distance to the nearest tenth?

Back

Look at the hundredths place; if it's 5 or more, round up.
