Question

Which of the following is the correct equation for the distance formula for the points (x1, y1) and (x2, Y2)?

pleaseee help asap!

Answer 1

`D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Explanation:

A point in a coordinate plane is represented by using its x coordinate and y coordinate. If a point O has a x coordinate (a) and a y coordinate (b), it is represented as O(a, b)

The distance between two points with location at A(
`x_1,y_1`) and point B(
`x_2,y_2`) is the length of the line AB and is given by the formula:

`D=|AB|=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`
