The answer depends on the metric being used.
With the "normal" Euclidian metric, the distance in 2-dimensional spance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is sqrt[(x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2]. Analogous formulae can be used in spaces with 3 or more dimensions.
If using the Minkowski or Taxicam betric, the distance is |x1 - x2| + |y1 - y2|. This metric, also known as the Manhattan metric, is the sum of the differences in the x and the y coordinates. If you start from the corner of x1 avenue and y1 street in a grid (like Manhattan) and want to go to the corner of x2 avenue and y2 street and assuming you do not tunnel through buildings, the distance that you need to travel is the Minkovski distance.
There are many other metrics. In fact, there is a whole subject, within mathematics, called metric spaces!

What are the three ways to write speed equation to find the time distance and speed?
The basic definition of speed is: speed = distance / time Solve this equation for distance, or solve it for time, to get two additional versions of the equation.
Equation to find speed?
Speed = (Distance)/(Time to cover the distance)
What is the equation that links the distance and speed and time of an object?
Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time)
What is the equation to find the speed the car travels over a distance?
Speed = Distance / Time
How do you calculate distance using the distance equation?
i dont know that's why I'm asking
What is the equation for converting water from a distance to mass and volume?
There is no such equation, what do you mean by "water from a distance".
What does it mean when an equation has no solution?
It means that the equation has no way of working it out / There is no answer.
What are the three ways to write speed equation to find the time distance and speed?
The basic definition of speed is: speed = distance / time Solve this equation for distance, or solve it for time, to get two additional versions of the equation.
What the equation for speed?
Distance ÷ Time (distance divided by time)
What is working distance?
Working distance is the distance between the front edge of the object lens and the specimen surface. Working distance decreases as the magnification and numerical aperture both increases.
What is the equation for ideal mechanical?
The equation for ideal mechanical advantage is: Output force/input force, Or input distance/ output distance.
Equation to find speed?
Speed = (Distance)/(Time to cover the distance)
Is distance vector or scalar with example equation?
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.
The equation for speed is?
speed = distance/time
What does the equation distance time defines?
speed
How you can use a speedometer and a clock to tell how far you have traveled in a car if the cars odometer is not working?
You can use an equation: Distance = speed x time Assuming the car is moving at a constant speed for a certain time, the equation will provide the distance the car has traveled. Take a car that is doing 50 miles per hour for 90 minutes. Note that the speed refers to hours as the unit of time so the time used in the equation must also be in hours. Distance = 50 miles per hour X 1.5 hours Distance = 75 miles
How do you define working distance?
Working distance or WD is the distance between each objective and the specimen, when precise focus of the specimen is obtained.
