Question

Find the distance between xequals[Start 2 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 8 2nd Row 1st Column negative 5 EndMatrix ]and yequals[Start 2 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column negative 1 2nd Row 1st Column negative 9 EndMatrix ].

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance =√(x₁ - y₁)²+ (x₂ - y₂)² = √97 = 9.85

Step-by-step explanation:

The Matrix X and Y could also be referred to as vectors in Rⁿ dimensions.

if Vector X = ( x₁ , x₂)   and  Vector  Y = (y₁ , y₂)

then, Distance (X-Y) = ||X-Y|| = √(x₁ - y₁)²+ (x₂ - y₂)²

where, x₁ = 8, x₂ = -5   and  y₁ = -1 , y₂ = -9

Distance = √(8 - (-1))²+ (-5 - (-9))² = √9² + 4² =√97 = 9.85
