G.CO.1 Know precise definitions of angle, circle,
perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based
on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a
line, and distance around a circular arc.
G.CO.12 Make formal geometric constructions with a
variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge,
string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic
geometric software, etc.).
Mathematical Practices

Find Distance on a Number Line
Use the number line to find QR.
The coordinates of Q and R are –6 and –3.
QR = | –6 – (–3) |
= | –3 | or 3
Answer: 3
Distance Formula
Simplify.
Use the number line to find AX.
Switching both coordinates in the formula will give the same
result for the distance. See below.

Use Algebra to Find Measures
Understand
You know that Q is the midpoint of PR,
and the figure gives algebraic measures
for QR and PR. You are asked to find
the measure of PR.
Use Algebra to Find Measures
Plan
Because Q is the midpoint, you know
that
Use this equation and the algebraic measures to find a
value for x.
Solve
Subtract 1 from each side.
