with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Count from left to right how many points it is from G to H.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or how many "squares".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

count the lines what intersect from g to h.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You could count, or use distance formula, actually there are many methods. \[d = \sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\] (note the distance formula)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the distance formula. \(\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}\) Plug in the two points: Point G (-4, 1) Point H (2, 1) \(\sqrt{(2+4)^2 + (1-1)^2}\) Solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks @AnswerMyQuestions An @iambatman An @iGreen.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

oh hell no!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem! :)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you do not use the distance formula to compute a horizontal distance

OpenStudy (misty1212):

either count, or compute \(2-(-4)=2+4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's the easiest way :P

OpenStudy (misty1212):

@iambatman i am surprised at you !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@misty1212 I don't know where you heard that, but you it's for any two points, the d = |x2-x1| is just a short cut, it's the same thing, if that's what you're thinking.
