Let the given points be A(2, 3) and B(4, 1).
We know that the distance between two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is given by
AB =
Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (36, 15). Can you now find the distance between the two towns A and B discussed in Section 7.2.
Determine if the points (1, 5), (2, 3) and (– 2, – 11) are collinear
Here, we see that AB + BC ≠ AC, BC + AC ≠ AB and AB + AC ≠ BC.
Hence, the points A, B and C are not collinear.
Let the given points be A (a, b) and B(-a, -b)
We know that the distance between two points A (a, b) and B(-a, -b) is given by
