Question

Find the difference between 1,2 and 5,2

Answer 1

d= 4

Explanation:

The DISTANCE between the two points can be found by the distance formula

d^2 = (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2

( 1-5)^2 + (2-2)^2

= 16

d = 4

You can just LOOK and realize the two points have the same y values...so the distance is just the distance between the x coordinates 5 -1 = 4
