Question
Find the distance between the following pairs of points:
(–3, 6) and (2, –6)
Advertisements
Solution
(–3, 6) and (2, –6)
x1 = –3, y1 = 6, x2 = 2, y2 = –6
AB = `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`
= `sqrt((2 + 3)^2 + (-6 -6)^2)`
= `sqrt((5)^2 + (-12)^2)`
= `sqrt(25 + 144)`
= `sqrt(169)`
= 13

Find distance between point Q(3, –7) and point R(3, 3)
Solution: Suppose Q(x1, y1) and point R(x2, y2)
x1 = 3, y1 = –7 and x2 = 3, y2 = 3
Using distance formula,
d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square - 100)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `sqrt(square)`
∴ d(Q, R) = `square`
