Distance Between Two Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does the coordinate plane consist of?

Back

The coordinate plane consists of two perpendicular lines: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical), which intersect at the origin (0,0).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0,0).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates are written as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the distance between point (2, 3) and point (2, 7)?

Back

The distance is 4 units.

Front

What is the distance between point (1, 1) and point (4, 5)?

Back

The distance is 5 units.

Front

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

Back

The distance is 5 units.

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in a point's coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in a point's coordinates?

Back

The y-coordinate indicates the vertical position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

If point A is at (1, 2) and point B is at (4, 6), what is the distance between them?

Back

The distance is 5 units.
