Midpoint Formula
The coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining two points can be found by “averaging” the x-coordinates of the two points and “averaging” the y-coordinates of the two points.

Directed Distance from a Line to a Point
Definition: The directed distance from line Ax + By + C = 0 to
the point P1(x1, y1) is given by the formula
where the denominator is given the sign of B. The distance is positive if the point P1 is above the line, and negative if P1 is below the line.

Applications
Predicting stock prices. The value of the stock of ABC Corporation has been increasing by the same fixed dollar amount each year. The pattern is expected to continue. Let 2008 be the base year corresponding to x = 0 with x = 1, 2, 3, … corresponding to later years. ABC stock was selling at $37½ in 2008 and at $45 in 2010. If y represents the price of ABC stock, find the equation y = mx + b that relates x and y, and predict the price in the year 2012.
Fun Run. From the start, a man runs 4km towards north, 3km towards east, and takes a rest. He runs 6km towards south and finishes 2km towards east. Draw the line from starting point to resting point and a line from resting point to finish point. Find the angle between the lines assuming that east-west is parallel to x-axis.
