Question:
In Example 2, change (−2,−5) to (−2, 5).
Data from Example 2
The distance between (3,−1) and (−2,−5) is given by
[It makes no difference which point is chosen as (x1 , y1) and which is chosen as (x2 , y2), because the differences in the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates are squared.] We obtain the same value for the distance when we calculate it as
