Precalculus 1.1 Rectangular Coordinates

In this video, we're going to learn about Rectangular Coordinates. We'll start by learning about the distance formula, Pythagorean Theorem, and rectangular coordinates. Then, we'll use point plotting to understand the relationship between points in a Cartesian plane and their coordinates. Finally, we'll use the distance formula to solve problems involving rectangular coordinates. By the end of this video, you'll have a good understanding of Rectangular Coordinates and be able to use them to solve problems in geometry and linear algebra.
