Distance Formula Practice

Front

What is the Distance Formula?

Back

The Distance Formula is used to determine the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. It is given by the formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

How do you find the distance between the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

To find the distance, use the Distance Formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the distance between the points (3, 4) and (3, 0)?

Back

The distance is 4 units.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (4, 6)?

Back

The distance is 5 units.

Front

If a point is at (7, -6), what letter is at those coordinates?

Back

The letter at (7, -6) is D.

Front

Find the distance between the points (-3, -11) and (8, -42).

Back

The distance is 32.9.

Front

What is the significance of the Distance Formula in real life?

Back

The Distance Formula helps in calculating the shortest path between two locations, which is useful in navigation and mapping.

Front

What does the term 'coordinates' refer to in a Cartesian plane?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position in a two-dimensional space, represented as (x, y).

Front

How do you calculate the distance between two points with negative coordinates?

Back

Use the same Distance Formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²), treating negative values as regular numbers.

Front

What is the distance between the points (0, 0) and (5, 5)?

Back

The distance is √(50) or approximately 7.07.
