SAT Coordinate Geometry Slope Distance Midpoint Practice Questions (Free + Explanations) | Quiz 4

Question 12345 of 5

Question 1 of 5

On a map, a straight walking path connects a garden at to a pond at . What is the length of the path, in map units?

Explanation

Use the distance formula between and :

So the length of the path is map units.

Concept summary

The distance between two points in the coordinate plane is found with the formula , which comes from the Pythagorean theorem.

Question 2 of 5

On a city map, a bike station is located at and a library is located at . A repair kiosk will be placed exactly halfway between these two locations. What are the coordinates of the repair kiosk?

Explanation

To find the point halfway between and , use the midpoint formula:

Substitute the coordinates:

So the repair kiosk should be placed at .

Concept summary

The midpoint of two points is found by averaging the -coordinates and averaging the -coordinates.

Question 3 of 5

In the coordinate plane, segment has endpoints and . If the midpoint of is , what is the value of ?

Explanation

Use the midpoint formula. For endpoints and , the midpoint is

Here, the -coordinate of the midpoint is 2, so

Multiply both sides by 2:

Then add 3 to both sides:

Therefore, the correct answer is .

Concept summary

To find a missing coordinate when a midpoint is given, set the appropriate midpoint formula equal to the midpoint coordinate and solve the resulting equation.

Question 4 of 5

A line segment has endpoints and . Which expression is equivalent to the distance between the endpoints?

Explanation

Use the distance formula, which is based on the horizontal and vertical changes between the points. From to , the change in is and the change in is . So the distance is

Therefore, the equivalent expression is .

Concept summary

To write an equivalent expression for the distance between two points, subtract the coordinates to find the horizontal and vertical changes, then use .

Question 5 of 5

On a coordinate plane, a line passes through the points and . What is the slope of the line?

Explanation

The slope of a line through two points is found with . Using and gives

So the slope of the line is .

Concept summary

To find the slope of a line from two points, divide the change in by the change in : .
