Points: (6, -2) and (6, 2)Using the distance formula: 4
Points: (1, -2) and (1, -5) Distance: 3 units by using the distance formula
(Distance between the points)2 = (difference of the two x-values)2 + (difference of the two y-values)2
The distance between two points on a coordinate plane is calculated using the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2) In this case, the coordinates of the two points are (7, 1) and (7, 3). Since the x-coordinates are the same, we only need to calculate the difference in the y-coordinates, which is (3 - 1) = 2. Plugging this into the distance formula gives us: Distance = √((0)^2 + (2)^2) = √4 = 2. Therefore, the distance between the two points is 2 units.
You take the two endpoints of a line segment, and use the distance formula on it. The distance formula is the square root of (x1-x1)2 + (y1-y2)2
