What is the distance between points (5, 1) and (2, -3)?

Sagot :

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points [tex]P[/tex] and [tex]Q[/tex] is  [tex]d = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{n} \left(q_{i} - p_{i}\right)^{2}}[/tex] ([tex]n[/tex] s the number of coordinates of each of the two points, [tex]p_i[/tex] , [tex]i=1..n[/tex] and [tex]q_i,i=1..n[/tex]

are the coordinates of the first and the second points respectively).

Thus, [tex]d = \sqrt{\left(2 - 5\right)^{2} + \left(-3 - 1\right)^{2}}=5.[/tex]
