Questions and Answers

What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂)?

  • $d = ext{sqrt}ig{(}(x₂ - x₁)^2 + (y₂ - y₁)^2ig{)}$ (correct)
  • $d = rac{(x₁ - x₂)^2 + (y₁ - y₂)^2}{1/2}$
  • $d = rac{(x₂ - x₁)^2 + (y₂ - y₁)^2}{(x₁ + y₁)}$
  • $d = rac{(x₂ - x₁) + (y₂ - y₁)}{2}$

    • In the distance formula, what does AC represent?

  • The distance along the y-axis
  • The horizontal difference between x-coordinates (correct)
  • The constant value of x-coordinate
  • The vertical difference between y-coordinates

    • How does the formula for distance between two points reflect the Pythagorean theorem?

  • It calculates the distance by adding the y-coordinates directly.
  • It treats the differences in coordinates as the two legs of a right triangle. (correct)
  • It uses the average of the x-coordinates instead of absolute differences.
  • It derives the distance as a sum of angles in a triangle formed by the points.
