Read each question carefully and calculate the distance between the given points on the coordinate plane. Show all your work.
1. Find the distance between the points A(2, 3) and B(5, 7).
2. The distance formula is given by d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²). If point P is at (-1, 4) and point Q is at (3, 1), then (x2 - x1) is and (y2 - y1) is , making the distance .
3. Which of the following represents the distance between the points (0, 0) and (6, 8)?
10
14
√100
Both a and c
4. Plot the points C(-3, -2) and D(4, 3) on the coordinate plane below. Then, calculate the distance between them.
5. The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be negative.
