how many steps from \(-1\) to \(5\)?

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

a. 14 b. 2 c. 10 d. 6

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

Find the slope: (y2-y1) divided by (x2- x1)

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

can u explain it to me i wasent in class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how many units from \(-1\) to \(5\) on the \(x\) axis?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1457921917082:dw|

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

that would be 6 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, it would how many steps from \(-3\) to \(5\) on the y?

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right , now for the punch line

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

the what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1457922010081:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a right triangle , you are looking for the hypotenuse use pythagoras \[a^2+b^2=d^2\\ 6^2+8^2=d^2\] or \[d=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}\]

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

Exatly ^

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

Exactly*

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

so that would equal 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the distance formula is an application of pythagoras the distance between \((x_1,y_1)\) and \((x_2,y_2)\) is \[d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 100 is the square of the distance so what is the distance?

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

10

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bingo

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):

thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw

OpenStudy (justdoublechecking):

Good job.

OpenStudy (baitcaster13):
