What else can I help you with?
If a segment connecting two points is you can find the distance between the points by subtracting the x coordinates and taking the absolute value?
Horizontal
What are the coordinates of point R that lies along the directed segment from J ( 10 - 3 ) to K ( 1 - 3 ) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 2 to 7?
Using the distance formula the length of the line segment from (10, -3) to (1, -3) is 9 units which means that the line segment is partitioned by 2 units and 7 units. To find the coordinates of point R plot the above information on the Cartesian plane.
If the midpoint of a horizontal line segment with a length of 8 is 3 -2 then the coordinates of its endpoints are?
If the midpoint of a horizontal line segment with a length of 8 is (3, -2), then the coordinates of its endpoints are (6, -2) and (0, -4).
If the midpoint of xy is located at the origin and one endpoint of this segment has coordinates of -8 10 what are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
The other end point is (8,-10).
What is the perpendicular bisector theorem?
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.
If a segment is vertical you can find the distance by subtracting the coordinates and taking the absolute value?
y
If a segment is vertical you can find the distance by subtracting the x-coordinates or the y-coordinates and taking the absolute value?
vertical
If a segment connecting two points is you can find the distance between the points by subtracting the x coordinates and taking the absolute value?
Horizontal
What segment connecting two points is horizontal you can find the distance between the points by subtracting the and taking the absolute value?
x-coordinates :)
How would you find the distance between two points if the line segment that connects them were vertical?
Subtract the y-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
How would you find the distance between two points if the line segment that connects them horizontal?
Add the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value
If a segment connecting two points is horizontal you can find the distance between the points by?
When a line segment connecting two points is horizontal the length of the segment can be found by finding the absolute value of the difference in x-coordinates of the two points.
How would you find the distance between two points if the line segment that connects them were horizontal?
Subtract the x-coordinates of the points and take the absolute value. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the y-value would be zero, and the distance the square root of its own square.
The distance between two points on a line segment is the absolute value of what?
The absolute value of the difference of their coordinate (if it is in one dimension).
When you want to find the length of a segment you use the what formula?
The distance formula providing you know the coordinates of its end points
You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
The run of a line segment is the horizontal distance between the x-coordinates of two points. To find the run, you subtract the x-coordinate of the left point from the x-coordinate of the right point. This calculation gives you the length of the base of the triangle formed by the line segment on the coordinate plane.
Why are the absolute value symbols used when indicating the length of a line segment?
Because line segment lengths are often calculated as a square root, the absolute value symbols indicate it is only the positive solution that counts, as a distance cannot be negative.
