Distance between two points Tutorial

  


Distance between two points Definition:
     The distance between two points of the xy-plane can be calculated using the distance formula.

Distance between two points Formula::

Distance between two points:
distance
where
              (x1, y1)   (x2, y2) are any two points on the cartesian plane.

Distance between two points Example:
Find the distance between the points (-1, 1), (-2, 2).

 x1 = -1, y1 = 1 and
 x2 = -2, y2 = 2

  Substitute in the formula as :
           distance
The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Distance between two points manually.
