Objectives:
1. To do all kinds of
things with points in
the Cartesian plane:
scatter plot,
distance, midpoint,
slope, equation
2. To solve an equation
for a particular
variable
 As a class, use your
vast mathematical
knowledge to define
each of these words
without the aid of
your textbook.

The Cartesian Coordinate
Plane is a flat place where
points hang out
 Usually called a “graph”
 Uses ordered pairs of real
numbers to locate points
 Gives a visual
representation of the
relationship between x
and y
(Also called a Rectangular Coordinate System)

Cogito Ergo Sum
A fly taught him about
the Cartesian
coordinate plane and
analytic geometry, for
which he took full credit

From 1990 through
2003, the amounts A
(in millions of dollars)
spent on skiing
equipment in the
United States are
shown in the table,
where t represents
the year. Sketch a
scatter plot of the
data.

In a right triangle, the
square of the length of
the hypotenuse is equal
to the sum of the
squares of the lengths of
the legs.

If the coordinates of
points A and B are
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2),
then
AB 
x2  x1 2   y2  y1 2
To the nearest hundredth of a unit, what is the
approximate length of RS, with endpoints
R(3, 1) and S(-1, -5)?
The distance between (-4, k) and (4,4) is 10
units. Find the value of k.
If A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2)
are points in a
coordinate plane,
then the midpoint M
of AB has coordinates

Find the midpoint of the segment with
endpoints at (-1, 5) and (3, 3).
The midpoint C of IN has coordinates (4, -3).
Find the coordinates of point I if point N is at
(10, 2).
Slope can be used to represent an average rate
of change.
 A rate of change is how much one quantity
changes (on average) relative to another.
 For slope, we measure how y changes relative
to x.
The slope m of a
nonvertical line is the
ratio of vertical
change (the rise) to
the horizontal change
(the run).
Find the slope of the line passing through the
points (-4, -5) and (6, -2).
Find the value of k such that the line passing
through the points (-4, 2k) and (k, -5) has
slope -1.
A linear function can have many forms, pick
your favorite:
 Slope-Intercept Form: y  mx  b
 Point-Slope Form: y  y1  m  x  x1 
 Standard Form: Ax  By  C
Write the equation of the line through the
points (-2, 5) and (4, -7). Write your answer in
point-slope, slope-intercept, and standard
forms.

Given any of the previous formulas, what would
it mean to solve for a particular variable?
To solve for a variable in an equation or formula
means to isolate that variable on only one side
of the equation:
variable = everything else
Solve V = (4/3)r3 for r.
