Distance Formula

Distance between two points

○Not Started
Δx=5Δy=3d=5.83P₁(-2,-1)P₂(3,2)

P₁ = (-2,-1)

P₂ = (3,2)

d=(3−−2)2+(2−−1)2=25+9=5.8310d = \sqrt{(3--2)^2+(2--1)^2} = \sqrt{25+9} = 5.8310

The distance formula is the Pythagorean theorem in coordinates: Δx and Δy are the legs, d is the hypotenuse.
