Lesson 1-3:
Use Distance and Midpoint
Formulas
Midpoints and Bisectors:
• The midpoint of a segment is the point that
divides the segment into two congruent
segments.
• A segment bisector is a point, ray, line, line
segment, or plane that intersects the segment
at its midpoint.
In the skateboard design, V W bisects X Y at
point T, and XT = 39.9 cm. Find XY.
Line n bisects the segment. Find the

The Midpoint Formula:
If A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) are points in a coordinate
plane, then the midpoint M of A B has
coordinates
 x1  x 2 y1  y 2 

Ex: The endpoints of RS are R(1, -3) and S(4, 2). Find
the coordinates of the midpoint M.
Ex: The endpoints of GH are G(7, -2) and H(-5, -6). Find
the coordinates of the midpoint P.
Ex: The midpoint of JK is M(2, 1). One endpoint is J(1,
4). Find the coordinates of endpoint K.
Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(5, 8). One
endpoint is A(2, -3). Find the coordinates
of endpoint B.
Ex: The midpoint of AB is M(3, -4). One
endpoint is A(-4, -6). Find the coordinates
of endpoint B.
Distance Formula:
• To find the distance between two points, you will
always use the Distance Formula.
• The Distance Formula:
If A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) are points in a coordinate
plane, then the distance between A and B is
distance (d) =
( x 2  x1 )  ( y 2  y1 )
