Coordinate Geometry: Distance, Midpoint and Slope
Students use the distance, midpoint and slope formulas to find lengths and centers, test whether a triangle is isosceles, and check a rectangle’s diagonals.

Students use the distance, midpoint and slope formulas to find lengths and centers, test whether a triangle is isosceles, and check a rectangle’s diagonals.
Students calculate slope from pairs of points, interpret positive, negative, zero and undefined slopes, complete a table, and find a mistake in sample work.
Students read two data tables for a moving object, find acceleration from slopes, find distance from areas, and sketch the graph.
Students find slope from two points and from tables, write y = mx + b equations, and interpret slope in real situations.
Students read slope and y-intercept from equations, write equations in y = mx + b form from given information, and interpret a real-world line.
