Heve you learned about the distance formula?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that's the formula :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so just plug it in
x2=4 x1=1 y2=-2 y1=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
are you there marcy?

yeah
OpenStudy (goldphenoix):
\[d=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2\] ^Just to make the formula neater. c:
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it's real simple keep it simple don't think to much into it. look at the formula I gave you and I broke down the points for you into x2 x1 y2 and y1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry i don't know how to make it neater i'm just trying to help i'll learn as i go :)

your fine
OpenStudy (anonymous):
start with x2-x1 then y2-y1 keep them inside the ( )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The answer is 10.90 or √119 using the distance formula.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't give away the answer she won't learn that way. :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 226

d√(4-1)^2 + (-2-1)^2 you would get this
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y-y1=y2-y1/x2-x1(x-x1) =4x-3y-22=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
edit the board and you could finish the problem stick to one set of the parentheses at a time
