Question

the formula used to find the straight - line distance between two points on a coordinate plane is called the

the distance formula is derived from the

the distance formula is written as $sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$, which calculates the

to find the distance between two points, you first subtract the

Explanation:

1. The formula for straight - line distance between two points on a coordinate plane is the distance formula.
2. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem.
3. The formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$ calculates the straight - line distance.
4. To use it, first subtract the corresponding coordinates.

Answer:

1. distance formula
2. Pythagorean
3. straight - line distance
4. corresponding coordinates
