Distance+Formula

=**Distance Formula **= = = =**Example #1 **= Points: (1,4) (4,0) x1=1, y1 = 4, x2 = 4, and y2 = 0= Substituting into the distance formula we have:

= = =Example #2 = Find the distance between the two points (5,5) and (1,2) by using the distance formula. Rather than blindly plugging numbers into a formula, draw a graph so you know what's going on. Those are your two points. =**Example#3 **= Find the distance between the two points (8,-2) and (3, 9). Now that you understand how the distance formula works, you can plug the numbers straight into the formula:
