Discuss the differences between a coordinate geometry proof and a proof method that does not require coordinate geometry. When would it be appropriate to use a coordinate proof rather than another proof method? Refer to your math writing journal entry Coordinate Proof. What example and explanation did you write about? i need helppp!!

Question

phi · Answer

I guess your journal has a blank page under "coordinate proof" ?

anonymous · Answer

What?

anonymous · Answer

i dont want an answer i just need help

phi · Answer

The question says
"Refer to your math writing journal entry Coordinate Proof. "

what does your journal entry say?

anonymous · Answer

we dont actually have journals, all of the lessons are recycled year after year; that was old information

anonymous · Answer

thats why this is so difficult

phi · Answer

A coordinate proof uses a coordinate system. It lets you to use algebraic techniques instead of using axioms and theorems and logical deductions.

sometimes the algebra is easier than doing the logical deductions

anonymous · Answer

ah! okay that helped a ton actually

phi · Answer

In a coordinate proof you can use things like the mid-point formula or the distance formula.

pythagoras using the distance formula
