This document provides instructions and examples for calculating the distance between two points on a coordinate plane using the distance formula. It includes the following key points:
- The distance formula is used to calculate the distance between any two points, whether aligned horizontally or vertically, as d=√(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2.
- An example calculates the distance between points (1,3) and (7,11) as 10 using the distance formula.
- An activity asks students to calculate the distance between 10 pairs of points and answer follow up questions. It concludes by assigning students to calculate the distance between points A(-4/3,-1 1/2) and

each segment? 2) Did you use the coordinates of the points in finding the length of each segment? How? 3) Which segments are congruent? Why? 4) How would you relate the lengths of the following segments? a. AB, AB, and ACb. AC, CE, and AE 5) Is the length of AD the same as the length of DA? How About BF and FB? Explain DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS
• The distance between two points is always
nonnegative. • It is positive when the two points are different and zero if the points are the same. The horizontal distance between the point P and Q is the absolute value of the difference of their x coordinates. Determine the distance between A(4,3) and B(4,- 5). DISTANCE FORMULA
The distance between two points,
whether or not they are aligned horizontally or vertically, can be determined using the distance formula. d=√(x2-x1) +(y2-y1) 2 2 EXAMPLE 1. Let (x1,y1)= (1,3) and (x2,y2)= (7,11). 2. Substitute the corresponding values of x1,y1, x2, and y2 in the distance formula PQ=√(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2. 3. Solve the resulting equation. PQ=√(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2 PQ=√(7-1)2+(11-3)2 PQ=√(6)2+(8)2 PQ=√36+64 PQ=√100 PQ=10 ACTIVITY: HOW FAR ARE WE FROM EACH OTHER????? Find the distance between each pair of points on the coordinate plane.
