Question

Find the distance from point A (4,2) to point B (-3,2)

(answer) units

Answer 1

The equation that is used for finding the distance (D) between two points is:
.

.
Now let's identify the two points you were given. Let's call point A (4,-3) point 1 and that
means that x1 = 4 and y1 = -3. That means that point B (-4, 3) is point 2. Therefore,
x2 = -4 and y2 = 3. (If we had let point A be point 2 and point B be point 1, it wouldn't
make any difference in the answer we get for the distance. It would still work out the
same as below even though the values of x1, y1, x2, and y2 would be changed.)
.
Now all we have to do is substitute our values for x1, x2, y1, and y2 into the distance
equation. When we do we get:
.

.
This simplifies to:
.
d=sqrt(-8)^2+(6)^2

Answer 2

i dont get it

Answer 3

what does this sign ------> ^ mean?

Answer 4

^ means power of lets say 2^2=4 :) and 3^2=9

Answer 5

oohh so it would be 64 & 36?

Answer 6

The equation that is used for finding the distance (D) between two points is:
d=sqrt(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
u need to identify what is ur x2,x1,y2,y1

after u identify them, then apply the formula
d=sqrt(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2
d=sqrt(-4-(4))^2+(3-(-3))^2

yeah u got 64 and 36 :)

Answer 7

A (4,2) to point B (-3,2)
^ ^

Answer 8

yea

Answer 9

distance between points = \(\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2}\)

\(\sqrt{(4--3)^2 + (2-2)^2}\)

Answer 10

try to simplify...

Answer 11

so √(7)2 + (0)2

Answer 12

yes, keep going

Answer 13

so then 49+0=49 units

Answer 14

square root of that.

Answer 15

why u always ignoring squareroot ha...

Answer 16

\(\sqrt{49}\) is not same as \(49\)

Answer 17

lol ohhh 7 units?

Answer 18

Yes ! good work !

Answer 19

thanksss! your the best on here

Answer 20

awww ty lol :)
