use the distance formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, do you know what the distance formula is or would you like me to type it here for you? @richgall____

OpenStudy (richgall____):

Can you type it for me

|dw:1444925617349:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now lets plug in the numbers shall we?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to plug in the numbers? Or would you like me to explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so the coordinates in the question are: (-5, 1) to (3, 0). Now the x2 coordinate is 1 and the x1 coordinate is -5. Also, the y2 coordinate is 0 and the y1 coordinate is 3. This is the information we have so far: x2 = 1 x1 = -5 y2 = 0 y1 = 3 Now plug in those numbers for those variables in the equation. Can you do it or would you like me to? @richgall____

OpenStudy (richgall____):

I can do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, after you do it do you know how to solve it? Or do you need further help?
