In this video the focus will be on the distance
between two points, the gradient of a line / line
segment and the mid-point of a line segment.
This will be done via:
Informal investigations (Lesson 1)
Derivation of relevant formulae (Lesson 2)
Applications linked to polygons (Lesson 3)
Outcomes for Lesson 1
In this lesson we will informally investigate the:
• Distance between two points
• Gradient of the line segment connecting the
two points
• Coordinates of the mid-point of the line
segment joining two given points

Co-linearity is confirmed by the accurate sketch.
Shortest distances between two points is equal
to the length of the segment joining the points.

be proved in different ways.
