Question 1.
What does the ordered pair (0, 5) represent on the Cartesian Plane?
Show hintHide hint
Look at how far the point is from the X-axis.
Question 2.
What is the name of the point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the coordinates of this point.
3Question 3.
What is the formula for the distance between two points?
- d = (x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2
- d = \\( \\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \\)
- d = |x_2 - x_1| + |y_2 - y_1|

Remember the relationship of the two points in a triangle.
4Question 4.
True or False: The midpoint formula gives the average coordinates of both points.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how you calculate the midpoint.
Question 5.
A line segment connects points A(1, 4) and B(7, 10). Calculate the midpoint and the distance between the two points.
Show hintHide hint
Apply both the midpoint and distance formulas.
Question 6.
A point P divides the line segment between C(3, 9) and D(9, 15) in the ratio 2:1. Determine the coordinates of point P.
