Distance Midpoint Math 1

Front

What is the definition of an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate system, typically written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point on a grid, locate the point's position relative to the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). The x-coordinate is the distance from the origin along the x-axis, and the y-coordinate is the distance from the origin along the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you find the distance between the points (3, 7) and (-3, 7)?

Back

The distance is calculated as: Distance = |x2 - x1| = |-3 - 3| = 6 units.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

If a point is located at (0, -5), where is it positioned on the grid?

Back

The point (0, -5) is located on the y-axis, 5 units below the origin.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

How do you determine the coordinates of a point from a grid?

Back

To determine the coordinates, count the units along the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) from the origin to the point.
