Question

It would mean a lot.

Answer 1

First, subtract y2 - y1 to find the vertical distance. Then, subtract x2 - x1 to find the horizontal distance.

Formula to find distance given two points.

Square root (X2 - X1)^2 + (Y2 - Y1)^2

Xa Ya Xb Yb
A = (3, -4) B = (-1, 3)

Xa goes into X2 and Xb goes into X1

(3 - (-1))^2

Ya goes into Y2 and Yb goes into Y1

(-4 - 3)^2

Square root (3 - (-1))^2 + (-4 - 3)^2

Square root (4)^2 + (-7)^2

Square root 16 + 49

Square root 65

= 8.06

The error was Drako had (3 - 4)^2 when it should have been (3 - (-4))^2 because a positive is subtracting a negative.
