What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points in a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance d between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

What is a parallelogram and how can it be identified using coordinates?

Back

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal in length, which can be identified by checking the slopes of opposite sides.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (x, y) in the coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates (x, y) represent the position of a point in a two-dimensional space, where x is the horizontal distance from the origin and y is the vertical distance.
