Given the points:
(-3,-2) and (-1,-2)
x1 = -3
x2 = -1
y1= -2
y2 = -2
Determine the distance between the two points.
Distance between two points formula:
d = √( (x2- x1)² + (y2 - y1)² )
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the distance of two points.
d= √( (x2- x1)² + (y2 - y1)² )
d=√( (-1 - (-3))² + (-2 - (-2))² )
d=√( (-1 + 3))² + (-2 + 2))² )
d=√( (2)² + (0)² )
d=√( 4 + 0 )
d=√4
d=2
Final answer:
d = 2
