Question

Julie is given two points, (x,y) and (w,z). Which process can she use to find the distance between the points?

Answer 1

One option is to use the distance formula.

In this case, this is what Julie would be working with:

`d = √((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)\\\\d = √((x-w)^2+(y-z)^2)\\\\`

If Julie knew the values of x, y, w, and z, then she could find a numeric result for the distance (d).
