Help please i will medal and fan: Find the distance between the points on the coordinate plane. Points B and (–1, 2) A. 3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 6
Heres the graph
can you tell me co-ordinate of point B first ?
(5 2)
thats correct, now you have both points, use the distance formula!
Distance between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is \(\huge d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\) does this help ??
Um?
Not really :/ But thanks
the 2 points are x1, y1 = -1,2 x2, y2 = 5,2 so just plug in x1 = -1 y1 = 2 x2 = 5 y2=2 in that formula!
ok.....
..
I have no idea what u said but ill medal and fan
\(\huge d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2} \\ \huge d=\sqrt{(-1-5)^2+(2-2)^2}\)
what is -1-5 = ... ?
4
not actually -1 -5 = - (1+5) = -6 got this ?
Yes Thank you very mcuh
\( \huge d=\sqrt{(-1-5)^2+(2-2)^2} \\ \Large d = \sqrt{(-6)^2+0} = \sqrt{36}=6\) thats how we solve distance formula related problems :)
Ok ill write that on my notebook :) Thank you.
welcome ^_^
