Distance and Coordinate Plane Review

Front

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

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Front

What is the definition of a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

What are the coordinates of a point located 4 units to the left of the origin on the x-axis?

Back

(-4, 0)

Front

How do you find the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2)
