What do you use to find the length of a segment on a coordinate plane?
You use the distance formula.
What is the length of a line segment?
The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.
Coordinate of the midpoint of segment AB is -3 2 Find the coordinate of A if the coordinate of B is 0 2?
First find the length between the midsegment point and coordinate B. The difference between 0 and -3 is 3. Thus, half the line is 3. So, to get to A, we have to go 3 in the other direction. -3 and 3 more would make Coordinate A land on (-6,2)
What methods could you use to calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment?
To calculate the x-coordinate of the midpoint of a horizontal segment, you simply take the sum of x-coordinate of the endpoints of the horizontal segment and divide this by two. An example is if one is given endpoints with th x and y coordinates 2,3 and 5,6. To find the midpoint of the x-coordinates add 2 and 5 and divide this by 2, or 7/2.
How do you find the length of a segment?
segment pj pn is 8x+3 NH IS 9X-6 AND HJ IS 5X+5
What do you use to find the length of a segment on a coordinate plane?
You use the distance formula.
How can you find the length of a line segment on the coordinate plane whose slope is not zero or undefined?
The length of a line between two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on a Cartesian Plane is given by the formula: length = square root [ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ]
What is the length of a line segment?
The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.
If a segment is you can find the distance by subtracting the y coordinates and taking the absolute value?
Vertical.
How do you find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment?
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
How can you find the length of a segment joining two points on a coordinate grid without directly measuring it?
I think that you draw a square from that line, and find the area of that square.
What does it mean to describe a plot on a coordinate plane?
It means to put the coordinates you were given on the coordinate plane. Ex. (-3,2) you find it the on the coordinate plane and then you plot it or graph it
Coordinate of the midpoint of segment AB is -3 2 Find the coordinate of A if the coordinate of B is 0 2?
First find the length between the midsegment point and coordinate B. The difference between 0 and -3 is 3. Thus, half the line is 3. So, to get to A, we have to go 3 in the other direction. -3 and 3 more would make Coordinate A land on (-6,2)
How you find the length of a line segment connecting two dots?
Compare the distance to a known length. Measure. If you know the coordinates of the two dots in an orthogonal coordinate system, use Pythagoras' theorem to find the distance. Say point 1 has coordinate (Ax,By) and point 2 has coordinate (Cx,Dy) then the distance between 1 and 2 is the square root of ((C-A)2 + (D-B)2))
How do you graph a point on the coordinate plane?
well, you find the two cooridinates on the plane and then graph them! KINDA EASY!
How do you find the length of a segment when given the endpoint and midpoint?
double the length
How do you find the area of a triangle on a coordinate plane?
you count the number of boxes IN the shape.
