Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, 7)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of the two points. The first point is (2, 3) and the second point is (5, 7).
  • Step 2: Use the distance formula, which is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²). Here, (x1, y1) is (2, 3) and (x2, y2) is (5, 7).
  • Step 3: Calculate the difference in the x-coordinates: x2 - x1 = 5 - 2 = 3.
  • Step 4: Calculate the difference in the y-coordinates: y2 - y1 = 7 - 3 = 4.
  • Step 5: Square the differences: (3)² = 9 and (4)² = 16.
  • Step 6: Add the squared differences: 9 + 16 = 25.
  • Step 7: Take the square root of the sum: √25 = 5.
  • Step 8: The distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, 7) is 5.
