Question

Find the distance between each pair of points.

a. M= (0,-11) and P=(0,2)
b. A= (0,0) and B= (-3,-4)
c. C= (8,0) and D=(0,-6)

Answer 1

To calculate the distance between each pair of points given, we can use the distance formula which is derived from the Pythagorean theorem. The formula is:

distance = square root of [(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]

Using this formula, we can calculate the following distances:

a. Distance between M and P = 13 units

b. Distance between A and B = 5 units

c. Distance between C and D = 10 units
