Question

how would i find the distance between these two plotted points? http://media.apexlearning.com/Images/200705/24/04119059-3f6d-4d0b-b11b-cd82b4912d35.GIF

Answer 1

Answer 4

Are you familiar with the distance formula?

Answer 5

^^ right there

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Did you try plugging it in?

Answer 8

Ok, so just plug your points into that and solve ^_^

Answer 9

well, no not yet.

Answer 10

ok i will! :)

Answer 11

Where are you getting stuck?

Answer 12

Or were you just not sure how to start?

Answer 13

i didnt know how to plug it in . i forgot what formula to use.

Answer 14

Your points are 1,3 and 6,1. 1,3 = \(\sf x_1,y_1\) 6,1 = \(\sf x_2,y_2\)

Answer 15

so then would it look like (6-2)^2+(3-3)^2?

Answer 16

Why 6-2?

Answer 17

oops i meant 6-1

Answer 18

and 3-3?

Answer 19

oh my word, im sorry..

Answer 20

It's fine :D

Answer 21

Do you know what it should be?

Answer 22

it would be (6-1)^2(1-3)^2?

Answer 23

Yes, don't forget the + in between though. \(\sf (6-1)^2~+~(1-3)^2\)

Answer 24

right

Answer 25

Can you solve from there?

Answer 26

yes!! :) thank you!!

Let me know what you get.

Answer 28

and after you add them together, don't forget to square root. That's a part where a lot of people forget and it throws them off. Even if they were starting correctly :)

Answer 29

Yes

Answer 30

What did you come up with @pinkey ?
