C 23 is the distance between the points of the coordinate line. Video tutorial “Distance between the points of the coordinate line. Examples of solving problems on finding the distance between points

In this article, we will consider ways to determine the distance from point to point theoretically and using the example of specific tasks. And to begin with, let's introduce some definitions.

Definition 1

Distance between points Is the length of the segment connecting them, on the available scale. It is necessary to set the scale in order to have a unit of length for measurement. Therefore, basically the problem of finding the distance between points is solved by using their coordinates on a coordinate line, in a coordinate plane or three-dimensional space.

Initial data: coordinate line O x and an arbitrary point A lying on it. Any point of the line has one real number: let it be some number for point A x A,it is also the coordinate of point A.

In general, we can say that the estimation of the length of a certain segment occurs in comparison with the segment taken as a unit of length in a given scale.

If point A corresponds to an integer real number, sequentially postponing from point O to point along the straight line OA segments - units of length, we can determine the length of the segment O A by the total number of pending unit segments.

For example, point A corresponds to the number 3 - to get to it from point O, you will need to postpone three unit segments. If point A has a coordinate - 4 - unit segments are plotted in the same way, but in a different, negative direction. Thus, in the first case, the distance O And is equal to 3; in the second case О А \u003d 4.

If point A has a rational number as a coordinate, then from the origin (point O) we postpone an integer number of unit segments, and then its necessary part. But it is not always geometrically possible to make a measurement. For example, it seems difficult to postpone the fraction 4 111 on the coordinate straight line.

In the above way, it is completely impossible to postpone an irrational number on a straight line. For example, when the coordinate of point A is 11. In this case, it is possible to turn to abstraction: if the given coordinate of point A is greater than zero, then O A \u003d x A (the number is taken as the distance); if the coordinate is less than zero, then O A \u003d - x A. In general, these statements are true for any real number x A.

To summarize: the distance from the origin to the point corresponding to the real number on the coordinate line is:

• 0 if the point coincides with the origin;

• x A if x A\u003e 0;

• - x A if x A< 0 .

In this case, it is obvious that the length of the segment itself cannot be negative, therefore, using the modulus sign, we write down the distance from point O to point A with the coordinate x A: O A \u003d x A

The statement will be true: the distance from one point to another will be equal to the modulus of the coordinate difference.Those. for points A and B lying on the same coordinate line at any of their locations and having coordinates, respectively x A and x B: A B \u003d x B - x A.

Initial data: points A and B lying on a plane in a rectangular coordinate system O x y with given coordinates: A (x A, y A) and B (x B, y B).

Let's draw perpendiculars to the coordinate axes O x and O y through points A and B and get the projection points as a result: A x, A y, B x, B y. Based on the location of points A and B, the following options are further possible:

If points A and B coincide, then the distance between them is zero;

If points A and B lie on a straight line perpendicular to the O x axis (abscissa axis), then points and coincide, and | A B | \u003d | А y B y | ... Since the distance between the points is equal to the modulus of the difference of their coordinates, then A y B y \u003d y B - y A, and therefore A B \u003d A y B y \u003d y B - y A.

If points A and B lie on a straight line perpendicular to the O y axis (ordinate axis) - by analogy with the previous paragraph: A B \u003d A x B x \u003d x B - x A

If points A and B do not lie on a straight line perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes, we find the distance between them, deriving the calculation formula:

We see that triangle ABC is rectangular in construction. Moreover, A C \u003d A x B x and B C \u003d A y B y. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we compose the equality: AB 2 \u003d AC 2 + BC 2 ⇔ AB 2 \u003d A x B x 2 + A y B y 2, and then we transform it: AB \u003d A x B x 2 + A y B y 2 \u003d x B - x A 2 + y B - y A 2 \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2

Let's form a conclusion from the result obtained: the distance from point A to point B on the plane is determined by calculation using the formula using the coordinates of these points

A B \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2

The resulting formula also confirms the previously formed statements for cases of coincidence of points or situations when the points lie on straight lines perpendicular to the axes. So, for the case of coincidence of points A and B, the equality will be true: A B \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2 \u003d 0 2 + 0 2 \u003d 0

For a situation where points A and B lie on a straight line perpendicular to the abscissa axis:

A B \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2 \u003d 0 2 + (y B - y A) 2 \u003d y B - y A

For the case when points A and B lie on a straight line perpendicular to the ordinate axis:

A B \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2 \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + 0 2 \u003d x B - x A

Initial data: rectangular coordinate system O x y z with arbitrary points lying on it with given coordinates A (x A, y A, z A) and B (x B, y B, z B). It is necessary to determine the distance between these points.

Consider the general case when points A and B do not lie in a plane parallel to one of the coordinate planes. We draw through points A and B planes perpendicular to the coordinate axes, and we obtain the corresponding projection points: A x, A y, A z, B x, B y, B z

The distance between points A and B is the diagonal of the resulting parallelepiped. According to the construction of the measurement of this parallelepiped: A x B x, A y B y and A z B z

It is known from the geometry course that the square of the diagonal of a parallelepiped is equal to the sum of the squares of its measurements. Based on this statement, we obtain the equality: A B 2 \u003d A x B x 2 + A y B y 2 + A z B z 2

Using the conclusions obtained earlier, we write the following:

A x B x \u003d x B - x A, A y B y \u003d y B - y A, A z B z \u003d z B - z A

Let's transform the expression:

AB 2 \u003d A x B x 2 + A y B y 2 + A z B z 2 \u003d x B - x A 2 + y B - y A 2 + z B - z A 2 \u003d \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + (y B - y A) 2 + z B - z A 2

The final formula for determining the distance between points in space will look like this:

A B \u003d x B - x A 2 + y B - y A 2 + (z B - z A) 2

The resulting formula is also valid for cases when:

The points match;

They lie on the same coordinate axis or a straight line parallel to one of the coordinate axes.

Examples of solving problems on finding the distance between points

Initial data: a coordinate line and points lying on it with the given coordinates A (1 - 2) and B (11 + 2) are given. You need to find the distance from the origin point O to point A and between points A and B.

Decision

1. The distance from the origin to the point is equal to the modulus of the coordinate of this point, respectively O A \u003d 1 - 2 \u003d 2 - 1
2. The distance between points A and B is defined as the modulus of the difference between the coordinates of these points: A B \u003d 11 + 2 - (1 - 2) \u003d 10 + 2 2

Answer: O A \u003d 2 - 1, A B \u003d 10 + 2 2

Example 2

Initial data: a rectangular coordinate system and two points lying on it A (1, - 1) and B (λ + 1, 3) are given. λ is some real number. It is necessary to find all the values \u200b\u200bof this number at which the distance AB will be equal to 5.

Decision

To find the distance between points A and B, use the formula A B \u003d (x B - x A) 2 + y B - y A 2

Substituting the real values \u200b\u200bof the coordinates, we get: A B \u003d (λ + 1 - 1) 2 + (3 - (- 1)) 2 \u003d λ 2 + 16

And we also use the existing condition that AB \u003d 5 and then the equality will be true:

λ 2 + 16 \u003d 5 λ 2 + 16 \u003d 25 λ \u003d ± 3

Answer: AB \u003d 5 if λ \u003d ± 3.

Example 3

Initial data: given a three-dimensional space in a rectangular coordinate system O x y z and points A (1, 2, 3) and B - 7, - 2, 4 lying in it.

Decision

To solve the problem, we use the formula A B \u003d x B - x A 2 + y B - y A 2 + (z B - z A) 2

Substituting real values, we get: A B \u003d (- 7 - 1) 2 + (- 2 - 2) 2 + (4 - 3) 2 \u003d 81 \u003d 9

Answer: | A B | \u003d 9

§ 1 Rule of finding the distance between the points of the coordinate line

In this lesson, we will deduce the rule for finding the distance between the points of the coordinate line, and also learn how to find the length of a segment using this rule.

Let's complete the task:

Compare expressions

1.a \u003d 9, b \u003d 5;

2. a \u003d 9, b \u003d -5;

3. a \u003d -9, b \u003d 5;

4.a \u003d -9, b \u003d -5.

Substitute the values \u200b\u200binto the expressions and find the result:

The modulus of the difference between 9 and 5 is equal to the modulus 4, the modulus of 4 is 4. The modulus of the difference of 5 and 9 is equal to the modulus minus 4, the modulus -4 is equal to 4.

The modulus of difference 9 and -5 is equal to modulus 14, modulus 14 is equal to 14. The modulus of the difference minus 5 and 9 is equal to modulus -14, modulus -14 \u003d 14.

The modulus of the difference minus 9 and 5 is equal to the modulus of minus 14, the modulus of minus 14 is 14. The modulus of the difference 5 and minus 9 is equal to the modulus 14, the modulus of 14 is 14

The modulus of the difference minus 9 and minus 5 is equal to the modulus of minus 4, the modulus of -4 is 4. The modulus of the difference minus 5 and minus 9 is equal to the modulus 4, modulus 4 is (l-9 - (-5) l \u003d l-4l \u003d 4; l -5 - (-9) l \u003d l4l \u003d 4)

In each case, the results were equal, therefore, we can conclude:

The values \u200b\u200bof the expressions modulus of difference a and b and modulus of difference b and a are equal for any values \u200b\u200bof a and b.

One more task:

Find the distance between the points of the coordinate line

1.A (9) and B (5)

2.A (9) and B (-5)

On the coordinate line, mark the points A (9) and B (5).

Let's count the number of unit segments between these points. There are 4 of them, so the distance between points A and B is 4. Similarly, we find the distance between two other points. Let's mark the points A (9) and B (-5) on the coordinate line, determine the distance between these points along the coordinate line, the distance is 14.

Let's compare the results with the previous tasks.

The magnitude of the difference between 9 and 5 is 4, and the distance between points with coordinates 9 and 5 is also 4. The magnitude of the difference between 9 and minus 5 is 14, the distance between points with coordinates 9 and minus 5 is 14.

The conclusion suggests itself:

The distance between points A (a) and B (b) of the coordinate line is equal to the modulus of the difference between the coordinates of these points l a - b l.

Moreover, the distance can also be found as the modulus of the difference between b and a, since the number of unit segments will not change from what point we count them from.

§ 2 The rule for finding the length of a segment by the coordinates of two points

Let us find the length of the segment CD, if on the coordinate line С (16), D (8).

We know that the length of a segment is equal to the distance from one end of the segment to the other, i.e. from point C to point D on the coordinate line.

Let's use the rule:

and find the modulus of the difference between coordinates c and d

So, the length of the segment CD is 8.

Let's consider another case:

Let us find the length of the segment MN, the coordinates of which have different signs M (20), N (-23).

Substitute the values

we know that - (- 23) \u003d +23

hence, the modulus of the difference 20 and minus 23 is equal to the modulus of the sum of 20 and 23

Let's find the sum of the modules of coordinates of this segment:

The value of the modulus of the coordinate difference and the sum of the moduli of the coordinates in this case turned out to be the same.

We can conclude:

If the coordinates of two points have different signs, then the distance between the points is equal to the sum of the modules of the coordinates.

In the lesson, we got acquainted with the rule for finding the distance between two points of the coordinate line and learned how to find the length of a segment using this rule.

Distance between two points on a straight line.

Rectangular (Cartesian) coordinate system.

Distance between two points on a straight line.

Theorem 3.If A (x) and B (y) are any two points, then d - the distance between them is calculated by the formula: d \u003d lу - хl.

Evidence. According to Theorem 2, we have AB \u003d y - x. But the distance between points A and B is equal to the length of the segment AB, those. the length of the vector AB. Therefore, d \u003d lАВl \u003d lу-хl.

Since the numbers y-x and x-y are taken modulo, we can write d \u003d lx-yl. So, to find the distance between points on the coordinate line, you need to find the modulus of the difference between their coordinates.

Example 4... Given points A (2) and B (-6), find the distance between them.

Decision. Let's substitute in the formula instead of x \u003d 2 and y \u003d -6. We get AB \u003d lу-хl \u003d l-6-2l \u003d l-8l \u003d 8.

Example 5. Construct a point symmetrical to point M (4) relative to the origin.

Decision. Because from point M to point O 4 unit segments, set aside on the right, then in order to build a point symmetric to it, we postpone 4 unit segments to the left from point O, we get point M "(-4).

Example 6. Construct point C (x), symmetric to point A (-4) relative to point B (2).

Decision. Let's mark the points A (-4) and B (2) on the number line. Find the distance between the points according to Theorem 3, we get 6. Then the distance between the points B and C should also be equal to 6. We put off 6 unit segments from point B to the right, we get point C (8).

Exercises. 1) Find the distance between points A and B: a) A (3) and B (11), b) A (5) and B (2), c) A (-1) and B (3), d) A (-5) and B (-3), e) A (-1) and B (3), (Answer: a) 8, b) 3, c) 4, d) 2, e) 2).

2) Construct a point C (x) symmetric to point A (-5) relative to point B (-1). (Answer: C (3)).

Rectangular (Cartesian) coordinate system.

Two mutually perpendicular axes Ox and Oy, having a common origin O and the same scale unit, form rectangular (or cartesian) plane coordinate system.

Axis Oh is called abscissa, and the Oy axis is the ordinate... The point O of the intersection of the axes is called origin... The plane in which the axes Ox and Oy are located is called the coordinate plane and is denoted by Ox.

Let M be an arbitrary point of the plane. Let us omit from it the perpendiculars MA and MB, respectively, on the Ox and Oy axes. The points of intersection of A and B eith of perpendiculars with the axes are called projections points M on the coordinate axis.

Points A and B correspond to certain numbers x and y - their coordinates on the axes Ox and Oy. The number x is called abscissa point M, the number y - her ordinate.

The fact that the point M has coordinates x and y is symbolically denoted as follows: M (x, y). In this case, the first in parentheses indicate the abscissa, and the second - the ordinate. The origin has coordinates (0,0).

Thus, for the chosen coordinate system, each point M of the plane corresponds to a pair of numbers (x, y) - its rectangular coordinates and, conversely, to each pair of numbers (x, y) there corresponds, and moreover, one point M on the plane Oxy such that its the abscissa is x and the ordinate is y.

So, a rectangular coordinate system on a plane establishes a one-to-one correspondence between the set of all points of the plane and the set of pairs of numbers, which makes it possible to apply algebraic methods when solving geometric problems.

The coordinate axes divide the plane into four parts, they are called quarters, quadrants or coordinate angles and are numbered with Roman numerals I, II, III, IV as shown in the figure (hyperlink).

The figure also shows the signs of the coordinates of the points, depending on their location. (for example, in the first quarter, both coordinates are positive).

Example 7. Construct points: A (3; 5), B (-3; 2), C (2; -4), D (-5; -1).

Decision. Let's construct point A (3; 5). First of all, we introduce a rectangular coordinate system. Then, along the abscissa axis, we postpone 3 scale units to the right, and along the ordinate axis - 5 scale units upwards and through the final division points we draw straight lines parallel to the coordinate axes. The intersection point of these lines is the required point A (3; 5). The rest of the points are constructed in the same way (see the picture-hyperlink).

Exercises.

In what quarters can a point be located if its ordinate is positive?

On the Oy axis, a point with a coordinate of -5 is taken. What are its coordinates on the plane? (Answer: since the point lies on the Oy axis, then its abscissa is 0, the ordinate is given by condition, so the coordinates of the point are (0; -5)).

Determine the coordinates of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with a side equal to 10, lying in the first quarter, if one of its vertices coincides with the origin of coordinates O, and the base of the triangle is located on the Ox axis. Draw a drawing. (Answer: (0; 0), (10; 0), (5; 5v3)).

Using the coordinate method, determine the coordinates of all vertices of the regular hexagon ABCDEF. (Answer: A (0; 0), B (1; 0), C (1.5; v3 / 2), D (1; v3), E (0; v3), F (-0.5; v3 / 2). Note: take point A as the origin of coordinates, direct the abscissa axis from A to B, take the length of the side AB as the unit of scale. It is convenient to draw large diagonals of the hexagon.)

In mathematics, both algebra and geometry pose problems of finding the distance to a point or straight line from a given object. It is found in completely different ways, the choice of which depends on the initial data. Let's consider how to find the distance between the given objects in different conditions.

At the initial stage of mastering mathematical science, they teach how to use elementary tools (such as a ruler, protractor, compasses, triangle, and others). Finding the distance between points or straight lines with their help is not difficult at all. It is enough to attach the scale of divisions and write down the answer. One has only to know that the distance will be equal to the length of the straight line that can be drawn between the points, and in the case of parallel lines, the perpendicular between them.

Use of theorems and axioms of geometry

In learning to measure distance without the help of special devices or This requires numerous theorems, axioms and their proofs. Often the tasks of how to find the distance come down to education and the search for its sides. To solve such problems, it is enough to know the Pythagorean theorem, the properties of triangles and how to transform them.

If there are two points and their position on the coordinate axis is given, then how to find the distance from one to the other? The solution will include several stages:

1. We connect the points with a straight line, the length of which will be the distance between them.
2. We find the difference in the values \u200b\u200bof the coordinates of the points (k; p) of each axis: | k 1 - k 2 | \u003d q 1 and | p 1 - p 2 | \u003d q 2 (we take the values \u200b\u200bmodulo, since the distance cannot be negative) ...
3. After that, we square the resulting numbers and find their sum: q 1 2 + q 2 2
4. The final step will be to extract from the resulting number. This will be the distance between the points: q \u003d V (q 1 2 + q 2 2).

As a result, the whole solution is carried out according to one formula, where the distance is equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of the difference of coordinates:

q \u003d V (| k 1 - k 2 | 2 + | p 1 - p 2 | 2)

If the question arises about how to find the distance from one point to another, then the search for an answer to it will not be very different from the above. The decision will be made according to the following formula:

q \u003d V (| k 1 - k 2 | 2 + | p 1 - p 2 | 2 + | f 1 - f 2 | 2)

The perpendicular drawn from any point lying on one straight line to the parallel will be the distance. When solving problems in a plane, it is necessary to find the coordinates of any point of one of the straight lines. And then calculate the distance from it to the second straight line. To do this, we bring them to the general form Ax + Vy + C \u003d 0. It is known from the properties of parallel lines that their coefficients A and B will be equal. In this case, you can find it by the formula:

q \u003d | C 1 - C 2 | / V (A 2 + B 2)

Thus, when answering the question of how to find the distance from a given object, it is necessary to be guided by the condition of the problem and the tools provided for its solution. They can be both measuring devices and theorems and formulas.
