DaQuan marks two points on the coordinate plane. One point is L(4,2) and the other point is M(7,6)
. What is the correct way for DaQuan to set up the distance formula?
The correct way for DaQuan to set up the distance formula is as follows:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
where:
x1 and y1 are the coordinates of point L: (4, 2)
x2 and y2 are the coordinates of point M: (7, 6)
So, DaQuan would plug in the values:
d = √((7 - 4)^2 + (6 - 2)^2)
