Solution
We are given two endpoints here
Point 1: (−1, Answer
)
Point 2: ( Answer
,4)
We know our rise between the two points is 1. So
12= Answer
And our run between the two points is 4. So
42= Answer
We now have rise2+run2=distance2, so we have
1+16=distance2
Answer
=distance2
So once we take the square root of both sides we have
distance=√ Answer
We could also use the actual distance formula we developed to get the same answer.
d=(4−3)2+(−5−(−1)2)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√
d=(12+(−4)2)−−−−−−−−−−√
d=(1+16)−−−−−−−√
d=√ Answer
