Question 3
| Find the length of the line segment AB
where point A is at ( 0, 2 ) and point B is at ( -1, - 4 ). |
Solution
| Label the points as ( x1, y1 ) =
( 0, 2 ) and ( x2, y2 ) = ( -1, - 4 ). Therefore, x1 = 0, y1 = 2, x2 = -1, and y2 = - 4. To find the distance d
between the points, use the distance formula : |
