Example 2 Find the distance between the two points 3 2 and 3 5. Given the coordinates of two points the distance D between the points is given by. Call one point Point 1 x1y1 and make the.
Just as you do with number lines you count the spaces between the numbers to find the distance.
A ruler is commonly used to find the the distance between two points. Know the distance formula. Given the two points x1 y1 and x2 y2 the distance d between these points is given by the formula. Now we substitute the values into the Distance Formula then simplify to get the distance between the two points in question.
