Question
Find the distance between the points
A(1,-3) and B(4,-6)
Advertisements
Solution
A(1,-3) and B(4,-6)
The given points are A(1,-3) and B(4,-6 )
`Then (x_1 =1,y_1=-3) and (x_2 = 4, y_2=-6)`
`AB = sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2 +(y_2-y_1)^2)`
`=sqrt((4-1)^2+{-6-(-3)}^2)`
`=sqrt((4-1)^2 + (-6+3)^2)`
`= sqrt((3)^2 +(-3)^2`
`= sqrt(9+9)`
`=sqrt(18)`
`=sqrt(9xx2)`
`=3 sqrt(2) ` units
