What do you use to find the length of a segment on a coordinate plane?
You use the distance formula.
What is the length of a line segment?
The length of a line segment is called the distance. To find the distance, you need to know the coordinate of its endpoints given as (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and the distance formula.
Find PD if the coordinate of P is -7 and the coordinate of D is -1?
If p=(-7) and d=(-1) then the distance from p to d is determined by the distance formula for the one dimensional coordinate line:D=(x2-x1) d=x2, p=x1D=(-1)-(-7) = (-1)+7 = 6The positive number means the direction from p to d is from left to right on the coordinate line.
Distance from origin to point?
The origin on a graph is the point (0,0).You can find the distance to a point by applying the Pythagorean theorem:Square the x coordinate and add it to the square of the y - coordinate of the point.Now take the square root of your answer.The result is the straight line distance from the origin to the point.
You can find the run by subtracting the -coordinate of the left point from that of the right point?
The run of a line segment is the horizontal distance between the x-coordinates of two points. To find the run, you subtract the x-coordinate of the left point from the x-coordinate of the right point. This calculation gives you the length of the base of the triangle formed by the line segment on the coordinate plane.
