FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the distance formula used to calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance formula is given by: d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} .

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Calculate the distance between the points (3, 24) and (7, 56).

Back

The distance is approximately 32.2.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you express the distance between point R: (7,-2) and Point Q: (-3,5) using the distance formula?

Back

The correct expression is: d=(−3−7)2+(5−(−2))2d = \sqrt{(-3 - 7)^2 + (5 - (-2))^2} .

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the correct way to write the distance between points A(3,1) and B(-2,-1)?

Back

The correct expression is: d=(−2−3)2+(−1−1)2d = \sqrt{(-2 - 3)^2 + (-1 - 1)^2} .

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the correct expression for the distance between points A(5,1) and B(-2,6)?

Back

The correct expression is: d=(−2−5)2+(6−1)2d = \sqrt{(-2 - 5)^2 + (6 - 1)^2} .

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does each variable in the distance formula represent?

Back

In the formula d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} , x_1 and y_1 are the coordinates of the first point, and x_2 and y_2 are the coordinates of the second point.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the geometric interpretation of the distance formula?

Back

The distance formula calculates the straight-line distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system.
