Question

Medals please help

The distance between points (3, 7) and (x1, y1) is the square root of (x1 - 3)2 + (y1 - 7)2.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

The equation for the distance between two points is:

\(\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\)

Answer 2

The equation can also be written as:

\(\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2}\)

Answer 3

It doesn't matter, so the answer is True.

Answer 4

The question just wants you to know where to put the points in the formula.
