Find the distance between the points (2, -3) and (5, -4)
use this formula
$$\sqrt{58}$$
\[ y = \sqrt{(y2- y1)^2 + (x1 - x2)^2}\]
where (2.-3) 2 is x1 nd -3 is y1 (5,-4), 5 is x2 nd -4 is y2
Basically your forming a right triangle with legs equal to the difference of each corresponding coordinate in the two tuple, and using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the distance between them.
sqrt58 is correct answer?
@Jack174 there is a Pacific formula to find the distance between 2 points. pls dont confuse thhat person with using the pythagorus theorem
i don't know
use the formula that i have givn u
do u want me to do it f u didnt understand it
yes please
ok
the formula comes right from the pythagorean thm, so to understand what you are doing conceptually the pythagorean thm approach is better than memorizing a formula
?
is the distance 10
do i need to put sqrt for answer or just number?
(5-2) , (-4--3) = (3,-1)
