1. What is the midpoint of this line segment?

SOLUTION:
 
Write the formula
(xm, ym) = ( , )
Label your coordinates (X1, Y1) & (X2, Y2)
(X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)
(-2, -1) (4, 3)
Plug your coordinates into the equation and solve
(xm, ym) = ( , )
(xm, ym) = ( , )
(xm, ym) = (1, 2)
2. Jason leaves his house and decides to stop at Mcdonald’s on his way to
work. How far is his morning commute? Round your final answer to the
nearest tenth of a unit. SOLUTION:
 
Find the distance from Jason’s Home to McDonald’s
Jason’s Home (-63, 42) McDonald’s (78, -8)

Find the TOTAL distance
149.60 + 167.45 = 317.05
3. Quadrilateral PQRS is represented in the Cartesian plane below. Raymond claims this
quadrilateral is a parallelogram. Is Raymond right or wrong? Explain why
Determine if the parallel sides are of equal measure

PS QR
d= d=
d= d=
d= d=
d= d=
d = 26 d = 26

SOLUTION:
What is a parallelogram?
PQ RS
 
A shape with 2 sets of parallel lines whose sides are of equal measure
d= d=
  d= d=
Determine the slopes of the sides of the shape d= d=
  d= d=
PS QR d = 55 d = 55
a= = = = a= = = =  
 
This is in fact a parallelogram because it has 2 sets of parallel lines AND
PQ RS
a= = = = a= = = =
the measures of those lines are of equal distance.

1. Choose the corresponding equation for each graph of an ellipse below.

SOLUTION:

First, to write the equation in standard form, divide both sides by

25;

The equation can then be written as ; therefore, and .

Graph the intercepts and and sketch the ellipse.
2. Choose the corresponding equation for each graph of an ellipse below.

SOLUTION:
The equation can be written as ; therefore, and .
Graph , and sketch the ellipse.
3. Choose the corresponding equation for each graph of an ellipse below.

Just as we would find the center of a circle, we see that the center of
the ellipse is . Now, we can use the values of and to help us plot four
strategic points to define the curve.
The equation can be written as .
From this, we have and .
To sketch the curve, locate the center at . Then move unites to the left
and right of the center and plot two points. Similarly, move units up
and down from the center and plot two points.
4. What are the center and foci of the ellipse ?

Solution:

This is the normal form of the ellipse .

 
The center is and

The coordinates of foci are then

5. The equation of an ellipse with vertices and foci is:

SOLUTION:
Since the x-coordinates of the vertices and the foci are equal the major axis is vertical, so the ellipse has an
equation of the form
the coordinates of vertices are and foci then
 

 
Then,
 
So, the equation is
