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 2D Cartesian plane, a point is represented as (x, y).

Front

What is the significance of the distance formula in geometry?

Back

The distance formula allows us to calculate the straight-line distance between two points in a plane, which is fundamental in geometry.

How do you determine if two points are the same using the distance formula?

Back

If the distance calculated using the distance formula is 0, then the two points are the same.
