How do you get the distance between each pair of points?
From the way the question is phrased, it seems safe to assume that you have the coordinates of the points. If the points are on a number line (a single number describes each point), subtract one number from the other. Take the absolute value of the result. If the points are in two or three dimensions - meaning that you need two or three coordinates to specify each point - you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. For example, in two dimensions, for points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you calculate: square root of ((x2 - x1) squared + (y2 - y1) squared)
What is the formula used to calculate DISTANCE?
1 The formula for calculating distance between two points is: d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] Where: d is the distance between the two points. x₁ and x₂ are the x-coordinates of the two points. y₁ and y₂ are the y-coordinates of the two points. The formula is based on the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the distance between the two points is the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by the two points and the x- and y-axes. For example, if the x-coordinates of the two points are 1 and 3, and the y-coordinates of the two points are 2 and 4, then the distance between the two points is: d = √[(3 - 1)² + (4 - 2)²] = √(4 + 4) = √8 = 2√2 The distance between the two points is 2√2 units. The formula for calculating distance can be used to find the distance between any two points, regardless of their coordinates. It can be used to find the distance between two cities, two countries, or two planets. It can also be used to find the distance between two objects in a physical model, such as a scale model of a city. The distance formula is a simple but powerful tool that can be used to measure distances in a variety of contexts.
If the midpoint of xy is located at the origin and one endpoint of this segment has coordinates of -8 10 what are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
The other end point is (8,-10).
Find the slope of the line through the points 6 and 4?
To ascertain the slope of a line two sets of coordinates are required or other information that enables the slope to be determined. Without this extra information an answer to this question cannot be provided.
One way to find the equation of a line is to look at some points on it and try to find the relationship between the coordinates?
Yes. You need only two points. If A (ax, ay) and B (bx, by) are two points on the line then the gradient (slope) of the line is m = (by - ay)/(bx - ax) provided bx ≠ ax. From this you can calculate m. Then the general slope-intercept form of the equation is y = mx + c Substitute the coordinates of A or B into this equation to find c. If bx = ax then the line is parallel to the y axis and its equation is x = ax. [There are other methods but they are similar to the above]
What is the math definition for the word x-axis?
the principal or horizontal axis of a system of coordinates, points along which have a value of zero for all other coordinates.
What does THE LETTERS C P mean on a yellow surveyors flag mean?
CP general means "Control Point" Control points are used as a place to develop coordinates for other points. In a sense, they are "base" points.
What does it mean to plot data points?
If you had a formula you would plug numbers in for the variables and solve for the other variables create a list of coordinates (data points). Next you would graph those points and connect the dots.
What nation is 22 degrees north latitude 96 degrees east longitude?
A set of latitude/longitude coordinates describes a single point, so it's not possible for a whole country to be right exactly there. That point is in central Myanmar, just a couple of miles across the river from Mandalay. There are an infinite number of other points that are also in Myanmar and have different coordinates.
Is there a website that will find of the slope of a line for me?
You don't need a specific Web site. Just calculate delta y / delta x, in other words: (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates). Use the coordinates of any two points that are on the line.
How are the graph of an equation and the set of all solutions of an equation related?
The coordinates of every point on the graph, and no other points, are solutions of the equation.
What are the latitude and longitude coordinates for Joplin Missouri?
The center of the intersection of Main St. and 7th St is located at 37.0841° north latitude 94.5135° west longitude. Other points in town all have different coordinates.
How could two points 35 degrees north of the equator- one in north America the other in china-be more distingueshed using map coordinates?
Use the longitudinal coordinates - West and East of the Greenwich meridian.
In Metroid prime 2 why are there grapple points in watch station access if you cant reach them?
The grapple points are meant to get you across from the other side.
What country is 0 degrees north and 30 degrees east?
That point is in southwestern Uganda. Other points in the same country have significantly different coordinates.
How homogenous co-ordinate system differ from cartesian system?
We assume that the ambient space is equipped with the standard Cartesian coordinate system and specify points by their Cartesian coordinates.The Cartesian coordinates of a point in the plane are a pair (x,y).The homogeneous coordinates of a point in the plane are a triple (x,y,w) with w!=0. The Cartesian coordinates of a point with homogeneous coordinates (x,y,w) are (x/w,y/w).Remark: We notice that the homogeneous coordinates of a point are not unique. Two triples that are multiples of each other specify the same point.The Cartesian coordinates of a point are of type double in the floating point kernel and of type rational in the rational kernel. The homogeneous coordinates of a point in the rational kernel are of type integer. Points in the floating point kernel are stored by their Cartesian coordinates.For points in the rational kernel it is more efficient to store them by their homogeneous coordinates, i.e., to use the same denominator for x- and y-coordinate.For compatibility also points in the floating point kernel have homogeneous coordinates (x,y,1.0). These homogeneous coordinates are of type double.
What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-4 2) and (2 3)?
Just divide (difference in y-coordinates) by (difference in x-coordinates). In this case, the calculation is:(-4 - 2) / (2 - 3) Or equivalently: (2 - (-4)) / (3 - 2) In other words, the order of the points doesn't matter.
