LINE SEGMENTS AND COORDINATE GEOMETRY

In this unit you will review plotting points and lines in the coordinate plane. Next you will examine the ruler postulate, measuring line segments, and the segment addition postulate. You will also review the Pythagorean Theorem and apply it to the distance formula. The final topic in this unit is finding the midpoint of two points and finding the distance between them.
