do you know the distance formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Kind'of ... It was confusing to me.

Here, this might help you to visualise what you're trying to work out.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[d=\sqrt{(y _{2}-y _{1})^2+(x _{2}-x _{1})^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sooo, d= \[\sqrt{3-(-1) + -4+(-8) } ?\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

(-4,3) and (-2,1) are two endpoints Replace the y's in the formula with the y values of the ordered pairs. Do the same with the x's and then simplify the result.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You forgot the square part.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And it should be 4 minus -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

√3-(-1)^2+4-(-8)^2?
