Question

how do you use the general equation after using the distance formula

Answer 1

x2-x1=y2-y1 the whole thing is in square root

Answer 2

the general equation is (x-h) squared + (y-k) squared =r squared

Answer 3

@rvc that doesn't make sense

Answer 4

thats the same thing i said

Answer 5

@rvc I dont think you explained it well for his understanding.
I know what you mean though.

Answer 6

ok im sry

Answer 7

@wyattp17 what @rvc is trying to say is that what you see, are basically coordinates, now the subscripts refer to the first and second points; it doesn't matter which points you call first or second.

x2 and y2 are the x,y coordinates for one point
x1and y1 are the x,y coordinates for the second point
d is the distance between the two points.

@rvc is this what you were trying to point him to?

Answer 8

i know what distance formula is

Answer 9

yo!

Answer 10

alright then let me finish explaining

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

ok im leavin wyattp
ledah will help u

Answer 13

thx for trying @rvc
