@Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so

Nnesha (nnesha):

distance formula \[\huge\rm d=\sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\] plugin x's y's values :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.

Nnesha (nnesha):

x's and y's \[\rm (x_1,y_1)(x_2 ,y_2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d=\sqrt{?}(5-2)^2+(-4--3)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk how to do that thing where it puts it in there lol

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's okay i know what you mean and yes that' right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no how to solve it

Nnesha (nnesha):

first solve the parentheses (5-2) and (-4-(-3)) and then take square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d= square root of 9+-7

Nnesha (nnesha):

-4-(-3) = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol hang on that would be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

49

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so d= the square root of 58

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 7.6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

Nnesha (nnesha):

no no no -4-(-3) first distribute -3 by negative sign and then combine them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhhhhh whhaa

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1439994778548:dw| ther is invisible one so multiply negative one times -3 and then add -4 there is negative sign you can't remove the parentheses ntill u multiply it with negative on
