Question

Find the distance between the points (4,9) and (10,9).

Answer 1

The formula for the distance between point (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) is,

`\text{d}=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Determine the distance between points (4,9) and (10,9) by using distance formula.

`\text{d}=√((10-4)^2+(9-9)^2)`

`=√(36+0)`

`=√(36)`

`=6`

So distance between the two points is 6.

Answer 2

The distance between (4,9) and (10,9) is 6

Explanation:
You need to follow this formula!
√x2 - x1^2 + y2 - y1^2

Your first point (4,9) is point 1
The other (10,9) is labeled as point 2

Take the 10 and subtract it from 4 to find the x coordinate.
10-4 = 6
Then you square it
36

Take the 9 and subtract it from the other 9.
0

So far we have √36
Simplify!
=6
Therefore, the distance between (4,9) and (10,9) is 6
