Appendix 1. COORDINATE GEOMETRY


1. THE LENGTH AND THE MIDPOINT OF A LINE SEGMENT

The Cartesian coordinate system is useful for describing the positions of points in the plane. In this system, the distance between any two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is easily found. In the diagram, the triangle ABC is a right triangle.
[]
The coordinates of C are (x2, y1). Therefore, the lengths of the sides AC and BC are AC = |x2 - x1| and BC = |y2 - y1|.
By the Pythagorean Theorem:
AB2 = AC2 +BC2 = (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 AB = SQUARE ROOT [AC2 + BC2]

The distance between any two points A(x1, y1) and B(x1, y1) is given by the formula:
AB = SQUARE ROOT [(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2]
It is possible to calculate the coordinates of the midpoint of a line segment when the coordinates of the endpoints are known. If M is the midpoint of a line segment having endpoints A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2), then the coordinates of M are:
x = (x1 +x2)/2, y = (y1+ y2)/2.
