Help, The distance between point (2, 2) and point (8, 2) is 6 units on a coordinate plane. Which other pairs of points are also 6 units apart? Select all that apply.

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The distance between point (2, 2) and point (8, 2) is 6 units on

             a coordinate plane.

To find - Which other pairs of points are also 6 units apart?

Proof -

The distance between two points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) are 6 if and only if either

( x₂ - x₁ = 6 and y₂ = y₁ )or ( x₂ = x₁ and y₂ - y₁ = 6 ).

If either of the conditions is satisfied , then only we can say that the two points has ha distance of 6 units between them.

Now, As given

Let (x₁, y₁) = ( 2, 2) , (x₂, y₂) = (8, 2)

Check whether the conditions are satisfied or not .

Here x₁ = 2 , x₂ = 8, y₁ = 2, y₂ = 2

Now,

x₂ - x₁ = 8 - 2 = 6 , y₂ - y₁ = 2 - 2 = 0

∴ we get

1st condition is satisfied, So the points have a distance of 6 units between them.

Now,

Let us suppose another point (x₁, y₁) = ( 4, 3) , (x₂, y₂) = (3, 3)

Here x₁ = 4 , x₂ = 3, y₁ = 3, y₂ = 3

Now,

x₂ - x₁ = 4 - 3 = 1 , y₂ - y₁ = 3 - 3 = 0

Here neither of the conditions are satisfied.

So the points are not at a distance of 6 units from each other.
