March 30, 2015 SPI 0506.4.5 Find the length of vertical or
horizontal line segments in the first quadrant of the coordinate
system, including problems that require the use of fractions and
decimals. Line Segments on a Coordinate Plane
Slide 2
We can locate a given point on a coordinate plane. (x,y)
(over,up) (crawl, walk) (run, jump) Mario! You must run before you
jump.
Slide 3
What state is located at (3,4)? Is it the same state as
location (4,3)? 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 (over,up) (x,y)
Slide 4
We can determine the distance between two points on a
coordinate plane. How far is it from the tree to the birdbath? John
plans to place a fountain 4 units from the flowers. If he runs his
path horizontally, what would be the location of the fountain?
Slide 5
We can determine the distance between two points on a
coordinate plane. Whats the distance between point T and V?
Slide 6
We can measure the length of a line segment. Which line segment
has a length of 0.75 units? WW
Slide 7
We can identify horizontal and vertical line segments. If I
graphed ordered pairs (4,5) (4,9.2) would this be a vertical or
horizontal line segment?
Slide 8
We can measure the length of a line segment. What is the length
of this line segment? How do you know?
Slide 9
We can measure the length of a line segment. What is the length
of this line segment? How could we make this line segment 5 units
long?
