The document discusses analytic geometry, which is the merging of algebra and geometry. It defines key concepts like the Cartesian coordinate system, axes, quadrants, and ordered pairs. It then covers the distance formula and how to calculate the distance between two points. Examples are provided to demonstrate finding distances and determining properties of triangles based on point coordinates, such as whether points are collinear or a triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene. Seatwork problems are included for students to practice these concepts.
