B.  PRIMING
1. Review: Ask the class about the previous lesson. Ask them students if
they really understand the past lesson (Pythagorean theorem)

C. MOTIVATION
1. All students will think of an ordered.
2. Let them plot it on the Cartesian plane (that point will serve as the location
of their house)
3. Ask them how far/how many units away is student A’s house to Student
B’s house.
4. Let them wonder what would be the lesson for that day.
IV. ACTIVITY
Perform the following activity. Answer every question that follows.
1. Plot the points A(2,1) and B(8,9) on the coordinate plane below.
2. Draw a horizontal line passing through A and a vertical line containing B.
3. Mark and label the point of intersection of the two lines as C.
4. Connect A and B a line segment.
5. Replace the coordinates of A by ( X 1 , Y 1 ) and B by ( X 2 , Y 2).

VI. ABSTRACTION

DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS

The distance between two points is always nonnegative. It is positive when the two
points are different, and zero if the points are the same. If P and Q are the two points,
then the distance from P to Q is the same as the distance from Q to P. That is, PQ=QP.

Consider two points that are aligned horizontally or vertically on the coordinate plane.
The horizontal distance between these points is the absolute value of the difference of
their x-coordinates. Likewise, the vertical distance between these points is the absolute
value of the difference of their y-coordinates.

DISTANCE FORMULA

The distance between two points, whether or not they are aligned horizontally or
vertically, can be determined using the distance formula.

D= √ ( X 2−X 1 )2+(Y 2−Y 1 )2

MIDPOINT FORMULA

If L ( X 2−X 1 ) and (Y 2−Y 1) are the endpoints of a segment and M is the midpoints, then
X − X 1 Y 2−Y 1
the coordinates of M=( 2 , )
2 2
