Answer by adamchapman(301) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use Pythagoras' Theorem for right-triangles, where d is the distance between the two points, x is the distance along the x-axis and y is the distance along the y-axis.
The change in x is equal to which is .
The change in y is equal to which is
Now use Pythagoras:
Just like that!
I hope this helps.
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
