Please help! http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=6p9hdy&s=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ that doesnt help me

OpenStudy (radar):

He provided you with the distance formula. All you have to do is plug in the x and y values and solve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to do that though

OpenStudy (radar):

You do know the x and y value at A You dp knopw the x and y value at B call A x1 and y1 call B x2 and y2. now use the distance formula.

OpenStudy (radar):

I would say the A has x=-1 and y=3 Do you agree?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess so

OpenStudy (radar):

Can you see the picture that you posted, please look at it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (radar):

Now what are the x and y values of B.............use your drawing (and your brain)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 6.32?

OpenStudy (radar):

\[\sqrt{(-1 -5)^{2}+(3-1)^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (radar):

\[\sqrt{36 + 4}=\sqrt{40}=2\sqrt{10}=6.32455532\]Looks like 6.32 will work.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay thankyou!
