Use the first x then subtract the second x. then the y then the second y. yes it does matter because the numbers you subtract will add up to your answer

Answer:

No,  order in which we subtract the x coordinates and y coordinates does nor matter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two points be \left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,\,,\,\,\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )

By distance formula: distance between points \left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,\,,\,\,\left ( x_2,y_2 \right ) is equal to \sqrt{\left ( x_2-x_1 \right )^2+\left ( y_2-y_1 \right )^2}

We know that \left ( x_2-x_1 \right )^2=\left ( x_1-x_2 \right )^2 and \left ( y_2-y_1 \right )^2=\left ( y_1-y_2 \right )^2

So,

\sqrt{\left ( x_2-x_1 \right )^2+\left ( y_2-y_1 \right )^2}\\=\sqrt{\left ( x_1-x_2 \right )^2+\left ( y_1-y_2 \right )^2}

Therefore, we can say in distance formula , order in which we subtract the x coordinates and y coordinates does nor matter .

For example distance between points \left ( 2,3 \right )\,,\,\left ( 4,5 \right ) is shown as below :

\sqrt{\left ( 4-2 \right )^2+\left ( 5-3 \right )^2}\\=\sqrt{\left ( 2-4 \right )^2+\left ( 3-5 \right )^2}\\=\sqrt{4+4}\\=\sqrt{8}

The outlier, 78, is removed from the data set shown.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Well, in order o figure this out, you have to understand the definition or range.

Range is the difference between the lowest and highest values.

Since 78 use to be the highest number, the range was 55

Now when we remove the outlier, the new highest value is 45, decreasing the range to 22.

Hope this helps!
