How do you find a midpoint of coordinates?
how do you find distance between points
Is it true that Given the coordinates of two points in the plane you can use either the distance formula or the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance between them?
Yes it is true
How is coordinate geometry used in real life?
There are many things which are depend on coordinate geometry, for example when a person or government wants to find where a place is situated, or the location of a person, longitude and latitude coordinates can be used to find them. The whole globe is based on longitude and latitude - where the lines of longitude and latitude meet is a coordinate.For example, it is possible to find the longitude and latitude of a place and then use those coordinates to find the place on a map. The location could also be put into a sat-nav device which uses its current longitude and latitude coordinates to work out a route to the destination - all in little steps between different coordinates.
Why the distance formula is not needed to find the distance between two points that lie on a horizontal or vertical line?
It is used, except that, because one set of coordinates are the same, the formula collapses into a simpler form.
How do you find coordinates of a point given 1 point and midpoint?
since you know of one points and the halfway point between the other point. just multiply the halfway point by 2 and this is the total distance between the two points.
