1. anonymous

YOU TAKE 2 AND -4 AND YOU TAKE 3 AND 5 AND SUBTRACT THEM AND THATS YOUR ANSWER opps sorry about the caps

2. anonymous

2 - -4 so( 6 , -2)

3. chihiroasleaf

the distance between two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is $d=\sqrt{\left( x _{1}-x _{2} \right)^{?}+\left( y _{1}-y _{2} \right)^{2}}$

4. anonymous

correct

5. mayankdevnani

Use the distance formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$

6. anonymous

im right? but what happend to the -3 u just said 3 u didnt say -3

7. anonymous

i just got done doing that test with mrs ausman a flvs teacher

8. anonymous

its supposed to be -3 - 5 right u said 3-5

9. mayankdevnani

x1=2 x2=5 y1=-3 y2=-4

10. mayankdevnani

can you solve it now @rebecca1233

11. anonymous

i already got my answer

12. anonymous

opps yes it still is -3

13. chihiroasleaf

use the distance formula @rebecca1233 , just like @mayankdevnani and I write ... :)

14. anonymous

i got (6,-8)

15. mayankdevnani

and then put the values in distance formula x1=2, x2=5 ,y1=-3 ,y2=-4
