Make sure you know how to:<br />
1. Write a line equation given 2 points<br />
2. Write line equations for vertical and horizontal lines<br />
3. Write line equations for parallel and perpendicular lines<br />
4. Find the midpoint between 2 points<br />
5. Find the distance between 2 points<br />
<br />
I will provide you with the formulas, you do NOT need to memorize them!SouthworthGMTRYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11369810934138043582noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953387813224967225.post-53181804544734143822011-09-12T18:21:00.000-07:002011-09-12T18:21:57.030-07:00Weekly Schedule<u>Monday:</u> Understanding Midpoint and Distance <br />
