Distance between Points

Front

What is the distance formula used to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the length of the line segment with endpoints (1, 6) and (8, 6)?

Back

7 units.

9 units.

Front

If two points have the same y-coordinate, how do you find the distance between them?

Back

Subtract the x-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

If two points have the same x-coordinate, how do you find the distance between them?

Back

Subtract the y-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

What does it mean if the distance between two points is zero?

Back

It means the two points are the same point.

Front

How does the distance between two points change if one point moves closer to the other?

Back

The distance decreases.
