How do u solve two points using the distance formula?

Step-by-step explanation:

For two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), the distance between them is:

d² = (x₁ − x₂)² + (y₁ − y₂)²

The order of points 1 and 2 don't matter.  You can switch it:

d² = (x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²

This is basically the Pythagorean theorem for a coordinate system.

Let's do an example.  If you have points (1, 2) and (4, 6), then the distance between them is:

d² = (4 − 1)² + (6 − 2)²

d² = 3² + 4²

d² = 9 + 16

d² = 25

d = 5

If you have points with negative coordinates, remember that subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.

For example, the distance between (-1, -2) and (4, 10) is:

d² = (4 − (-1))² + (10 − (-2))²

d² = (4 + 1)² + (10 + 2)²

d² = 5² + 12²

d² = 25 + 144

d² = 169

d = 13

an advantage of the standard deviation is that it increases as the dispersion of the data increases. e. the interquartile range is preferred when the data are not skewed or no have outliers. an advantage of the standard deviation is that it uses all the observations in its computation.
