units

Answer 1

Why is it written twice?

Answer 2

i didnt it by mistake

Answer 3

oh

Answer 4

\(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm D} =\sqrt{ (\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}-\color{red}{{\rm y}_2})^2+(\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2})^2 }}\)


where
\(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm D} }\) is the distance.

\(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}~,~~\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}) }\) and \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2}~,~~\color{red}{{\rm y}_2}) }\) are your two points.

Answer 5

O.O can you break it down please?

Answer 6

break it down?

Answer 7

well, your points are
\(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{10}~,~~\color{blue}{7}) }\) and \(\Large\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{2}~,~~\color{red}{7}) }\) are your two points.

Answer 8

is that right, no typos?

Answer 9

with these 2 points you don't need the diatnce formula.

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

you just need to subtract, because you are just finding the HORIZONTAL distance.

Answer 12

okay :D

Answer 13

alright, when you are done tell me the answer.
If you have question(s) ask.

Answer 14

8/7

Answer 15

what if I told you to find the distance between 2 and 10, what would tell me the answer is?

Answer 16

think 6 or 8

Answer 17

well, 10-2 is 8, isn't it?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

So for instance if you walked 2 miles, to complete a walk to 10 miles, you would have to walk another 8 miles.

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

lets change to meters.

Answer 22

it is all same, just conceptualizing.

Answer 23

okay

Answer 24

now, all of this is happening on the line y=7.
