Identify the formula represented below:
\[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
A. Midpoint Formula
B. Slope Formula
C. Distance Formula
D. Quadratic Formula
Answer (3)
I t ′ s n o n e o f t h ose .
d = ( x 2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1 ) 2 ⇐ D i s t an ce F or m u l a A ( x 1 ; y 1 ) ; B ( x 2 ; y 2 ) ⇒ d = ∣ A B ∣
As it stands, it's none of those. I believe you were going for the distance formula but copied it wrong.
The formula d = ( x 2 − x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1 ) 2 represents the Distance Formula , used to calculate the straight-line distance between two points on a coordinate plane. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, reflecting the difference in x and y coordinates. The correct multiple-choice option is C. Distance Formula .
