Over Lesson 1–2
What is the value of x and AB if B is between A and C, AB = 3x + 2, BC = 7, and AC = 8x – 1?
A. x = 2, AB = 8
B. x = 1, AB = 5
C.
D. x = –2, AB = –4
You graphed points on the coordinate plane.
• Find the distance between two points.
• Find the midpoint of a segment.
Find Distance on a Number Line
Use the number line to find QR.
The coordinates of Q and R are –6 and –3.
QR = | –6 – (–3) | Distance Formula
= | –3 | or 3 Simplify.
Answer: 3
You will need a scientific calculator to do this problem
1. Put x’s and y’s in the formula2. Subtract x’s and square3. Subtract y’s and square4. Add numbers under the radical5. Take square root if answer is in decimal form.
Find Distance on a Coordinate Plane
Find the distance between E(–4, 1) and F(3, –1).
(x1, y1) = (–4, 1) and (x2, y2) = (3, –1)
Find Distance on a Coordinate Plane
Check Graph the ordered pairs and check by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Find Midpoint on a Number Line
DECORATING Marco places a couch so that its end is perpendicular and 2.5 feet away from the wall. The couch is 90” wide. How far is the midpoint of the couch back from the wall in feet?
First we must convert 90 inches to 7.5 feet. The coordinates of the endpoints of the couch are 2.5 and 10. Let M be the midpoint of the couch.
Midpoint Formula
x1 = 2.5, x2 = 10
Find Midpoint on a Number Line
Simplify.
Answer: The midpoint of the couch back is 6.25 feet from the wall.
A. 330 ft
B. 660 ft
C. 990 ft
D. 1320 ft
DRAG RACING The length of a drag racing strip is
mile long. How many feet from the finish line is
the midpoint of the racing strip?
1 mile = 5280 feet
Find the Coordinates of an Endpoint
Write two equations to find the coordinates of D.
Let D be (x1, y1) and F be (x2, y2) in the Midpoint Formula.
(x2, y2) = (–5, –3)
Find the Coordinates of an Endpoint
Answer: The coordinates of D are (–7, 11).
Midpoint Formula
Midpoint Formula
A. (3.5, 1)
B. (–10, 13)
C. (15, –1)
D. (17, –11)
Find the coordinates of R if N (8, –3) is the midpointof RS and S has coordinates (–1, 5).
Use Algebra to Find Measures
Understand You know that Q is the midpoint of PR, and the figure gives algebraic measures for QR and PR. You are asked to find the measure of PR.
Use Algebra to Find Measures
Use this equation and the algebraic measures to find a value for x.
Solve
Subtract 1 from each side.
Plan Because Q is the midpoint, you know
that
Segment Bisector
A segment bisector is any segment, line, or line that intersects a segment at its midpoint .
Construction: Bisect a Segment
1. Draw a segment.2. Place the compass on one end and open the
compass bigger than half of the segment.3. Draw arcs above and below the segment.4. Without moving the compass sixe, move the point to
the other end of the segment.5. Draw arcs about and below the segment.6. Use a straightedge to connect the x’s you made
above and below the segment.7. Where this new segment crosses the 1st one is the
midpoint.See page 30 for pictures.
