Find the distance between the following pairs of points: (-3, 6), (3, 2)

Answer 1

First let's label our points like this. Then I'll show you the distance formula.

Point 1: (-3, 6) is (x, y)
Point 2: (3, 2) is (x1, y1) You with me so far?

Answer 2

So.

x = -3
y = 6
x1 = ?
y1 = ?

Can you tell me what x1 and y1 equal so I know we are on the same page?

Answer 3

a. 4i
b.4
c sq root 20

Answer 4

d sq root 2 13

Answer 5

do us a favor, use a graphing paper
plot the points you are given then we can solve for the problem mathematically, but until you get the concept, it won't be much help

Answer 6

true I understand ok :)

Answer 7

if you already understood the concept of solving for distances, then why do you need help?

Answer 8

ill graph it

Answer 10

did you figure it out alyygirl?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

:/

Answer 13

Hint: plot the two points to get what you see in the attached image

Answer 14

finding the distance from A to B is the same as finding the length of the hypotenuse (of that right triangle)

Answer 15

4

Answer 16

?

Answer 17

That's the vertical distance (shown here)

Answer 18

That's not the distance you want. But it helps get you there.

Answer 19

is sq root 20

Answer 20

how are you getting that

Answer 21

bvasue its my only choices or 2 sq root 13

Answer 22

because

Answer 23

well forget about the answer choices

Answer 24

this is why multiple choice is completely useless when it comes to learning

Answer 25

ok

Answer 26

Use the pythagorean theorem

\[\Large a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]

Answer 27

the other side is 6 as well
