Question

Use the drop downs to answer the following questions of finding the distance from (-6, 2) to the origin. Use (0,0) as

(x1, yı).
d = (x2 – X)2 + (y2 – Y1)2
What is the difference of the x-coordinates,
What is the difference of the y-coordinates, 42
What is the distance from (-6, 2) to the origin?

Answer 1

`x_(2) -x_(1) =-6\\y_(2)-y_(1)=2\\d=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2}=√(36+4)=√(40)`

Explanation:

Answer 2

What is the difference of the x-coordinates, (x2–x1)?

✔ –6

What is the difference of the y-coordinates, (y2–y1)?

✔ 2

What is the distance from (–6, 2) to the origin?

✔ 6.32
