Question

Which expression gives the distance between the points
(1,-2) and (2,4)?​

Answer 1

(1, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between the two points, we would have to find the distance in the x and y values.

The x value in both equations is 2 and 1. To find the distance between these points we would just need to subtract 2-1 which equals 1.

The y value in both equations is -2 and 4. Since one of the numbers is in the negatives, we would have to imagine a graph. If our point is on -2, we would have to count up the marks until we got to four. So, 2+4=6.

Note- this isn't how adding negative and positive numbers work but when it comes to graphs this is how it works. :p

So, your distance between the points is (1,6)

Hope this helps!! <3 :))

Answer 2

square root of ((x1-x2)²+(y1-y2)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question:

√((2-1)² + (4-(-2))²)

√(37)

distance is √37
