Each point in the coordinate plane can be specified by an ordered pair of numbers.

 

 

The point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment is called the midpoint.

 

 

A point is a precise location or place on a plane. Usually represented by a dot.

 

 

There is a formula used to determine the distance, d, between two points.
