How to Find the distance between 2 points w/ distance formula

Mar 27, 2010 07:10 AM

Algebra – The Distance Formula.

This video describes how to find the distance between 2 points of a graph in a step by step method. Made by Ya Math, the instructor assists the class in finding the distance between (6,8) and (3,4) by showing us the equation d=v((x_1-x_2 )^2+(y_1-y_2 )^2 ) In this equation, 6 and 3 are the x axis numbers and the 8 and 4 are the y axis numbers respectively, thus v((6-3)^2+(8-4)^2 ) Working from the inside the radical, the instructor subtracts the parenthesis gives us v((3)^2+(4)^2 ). Next, each answer is squared (3)^2+(4)^2 , and then added together 9+16, which equals 25. Finally, as shown in the original equation, the square root of 25 is 5. Therefore, by using the formula d=v((x_1-x_2 )^2+(y_1-y_2 )^2 ), we know that the distance between 6(x) and 8(y), and 3(x) and 4(y), the answer is 5.

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari.
