Question

If the co-ordinate of A is x and that of B is y, find d(A, B).

x = -3, y = -6

Solution

It is known that distance between the two points is obtained by subtracting the smaller co-ordinate from the larger co-ordinate.

The coordinates of A and B are x and y respectively.

We have, x = -3 and y = -6.

We know that -3 > -6.

∴ d (A, B) = -3 - (- 6) 

∴  d (A, B) = -3 + 6

∴  d (A, B) = 3
