I DONT KNOW WHAT URGENT MEANS BUT URGENT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the 2 points on a graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then find the distance between the x values and the difference between the y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between the 2 points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermm i dont get it D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many spaces away are the 2 x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, -2 and 6 are 8 spaces apart right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yesss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 8 and -2 are 10 spaces apart right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yepp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so do 8^2 + 10^2
