Study Notes

Distance Formula

The distance formula can be used to calculate the distance between two points in a two-dimensional plane.

Rate of Travel

To find the rate of travel in miles per hour, the distance formula can be used.
Denise's current rate can be found using the distance formula, given that she travels for 4 hours.

Gas Mileage

The gas mileage of the Toyota Prius is essential to know how far Miseal can travel on 5 gallons of gas.

Distance Calculation

The equation d = rt can be used to calculate distance using the rate and time.
The distance formula for the coordinate plane is d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2).

Subscripts in Distance Equation

The subscripts 1 and 2 in the distance equation for the coordinate plane represent the two points being measured.

Coordinate Plane

A coordinate in the coordinate plane is a point on the plane defined by its x and y values.

Definition of Distance

Distance is the amount of space between two points, and it can be calculated using the distance formula.
