Question

Distance on a Coordinate PlansDetermine the distance between the two points,20123456789

Answer 1

Distance = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The points on the graph: (2, 5) and (7, 5)

We would apply the distance formula:

`dis\tan ce\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}`
`\begin{gathered} x_1=2,y_1=5,x_2=7,y_2\text{ = }5 \\ \text{distance = }\sqrt[]{(5-5)^2+(7-2)^2\text{ }} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{distance = }\sqrt[]{(0)^2+(5)^2} \\ \text{distance = }\sqrt[]{0+25} \\ \text{distance = }\sqrt[]{25} \\ \text{distance = 5} \end{gathered}`
