Question

What is the exact distance from (−5, 1) to (3, 0)?

square root of 63. units
square root of 65. units
square root of 67. units
square root of 69. units

Answer 1

Do you know the distance formula?

Answer 2

um kinda...but not really

Answer 3

To find the distance between two coordinates,

Go ahead and first label them as...
coordinate 1 (x1, y1)
coordinate 2 (x2, y2)

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

Aiight now look at this

Answer 6

So your first point (-5, 1) is (x1, y1)

Answer 7

that?

Answer 8

Use the distance formula \[\sf d=\sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 +(y_2 -y_1)^2}\]

Answer 9

Well, you have your points (-5, 1) and (3, 0), as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

Let me show you step by step.

Answer 10

Think of them as Pythagorean Theorem:
