Determine the distance between two points using distance formula ex 1, A(3, 2) and B(6, 3)

The video tutorial explains how to determine the distance between two points using the distance formula. It begins with an introduction to the formula, followed by plotting the points on a graph. The tutorial then demonstrates the calculation process, including labeling points and applying the formula. Finally, it simplifies the expression to find the distance, emphasizing the use of order of operations.

What is the primary purpose of plotting points when using the distance formula?

• To avoid using the distance formula

• To confuse the students

• To better understand the distance being calculated

• To make the graph look more colorful

When labeling points for the distance formula, which of the following is true?

• The labels can be switched without affecting the result

• The labels should be chosen randomly

• The labels must be in alphabetical order

• The labels must always be X1, Y1 for the first point and X2, Y2 for the second point

What is the first step in applying the distance formula after labeling the points?

• Subtracting the coordinates and squaring the results

• Dividing the coordinates

• Adding the coordinates together

• Multiplying the coordinates

In the final calculation of the distance, what is the result of squaring the differences of the coordinates?

• The sum of the squares of the differences

• The product of the coordinates

• The difference of the squares of the coordinates

• The sum of the coordinates

What is the final result of the distance calculation in this example?

• Square root of 12

• Square root of 11

• Square root of 10

• Square root of 9
