How do u solve two points using the distance formula?

Step-by-step explanation:

For two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the distance between them is:

d² = (x₁ − x₂)² + (y₁ − y₂)²

The order of points 1 and 2 don't matter.  You can switch it:

d² = (x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²

This is basically the Pythagorean theorem for a coordinate system.

Let's do an example.  If you have points (1, 2) and (4, 6), then the distance between them is:

d² = (4 − 1)² + (6 − 2)²

d² = 3² + 4²

d² = 9 + 16

d² = 25

d = 5

If you have points with negative coordinates, remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.

For example, the distance between (-1, -2) and (4, 10) is:

d² = (4 − (-1))² + (10 − (-2))²

d² = (4 + 1)² + (10 + 2)²

d² = 5² + 12²

d² = 25 + 144

d² = 169

d = 13

*brainliest for best answer thank you* Solve for b.

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

The fourth choice,  b = +\- sqrt( sg + a^2)

Discussion:

s = (b^2 - a^2)/g     =>              multiply both sides by "g"

sg = b^2 - a^2        =>               add a^2 to both sides

sg + a^2 = b^2       =>                take the square root of each side

b = +\- sqrt( sg + a^2)


which is the fourth choice.


Thank you,

MrB
