length of the segment with the folloowing enpoints G(-3,2) +(3,-3)
length =\[\sqrt{(-3-3)^{2}+(-3-2)^{2}}\]
You may find this problem easier to visualize and thus easier to solve if you plot these two points and then draw a line connecting them. It's the length of that line that you want; that's the distance between the two points. for starters: you could use either the "distance formula" or the "Pythagorean Theorem" (which are very much related to one another, by the way). Have you used the Draw utility (below) before?|dw:1410459931061:dw|
saketh30 is applying the Pythagorean Theorem here.
length=\[\sqrt{36+25)}=\sqrt{61}\]

no i m applying the general formula to find the distance between two points (X1,Y1) and (x2,Y2)=\[\sqrt{(X2-X1)^{2}+(Y2-Y1)^{2}}\]
