Mastering 9-0 Notes on Rational Expressions

Mrs. Johnson covers the distance and midpoint formulas, explaining their derivations and applications. She connects these concepts to the Pythagorean theorem and discusses their role in bridging geometry and algebra. The video includes practical examples, such as finding the distance between points and determining the other endpoint given a midpoint. Completing the square is revisited, emphasizing its use in converting equations to vertex form. Finally, the video explains how to find the equation of a perpendicular bisector, highlighting the importance of slope and midpoint calculations.
