Coordinate Geometry Test Topics

The questions in the Coordinate Geometry Diagnostic Test are typical of those
on Math 1. In this chapter we’ll use these questions to review the coordinate
geometry you’re expected to know for both levels of the SAT Mathematics. We
will also use these questions to demonstrate some effective problem-solving
techniques, alternative methods, and test-taking strategies that apply to SAT
subject tests coordinate geometry questions.

MIDPOINTS AND DISTANCES

Some of the more basic SAT subject tests’ coordinate geometry questions are
ones that concern themselves with the layout of the grid, the location of
points, distances between them, midpoints, and so on. Example 1 involves
both distances and midpoints.
