  1. C(-1,4) B(3,3) A(-2,3) D(-1,-3) y x Distance Lengths parallel to the axes are calculated as if it was a number line. Examples 1) Calculate the length of AB. 3 – –2 = 5u 2) Calculate the length of CD. 4 – –3 = 7u

  2. y (x2, y2) y2 y1 (x1, y1) (x2, y1) x x1 x2 Distance To calculate the length of a sloping line: d (y2y1) • Draw a right angled triangle • Calculate the horizontal length (x2x1) (x2x1) • Calculate the vertical length (y2y1) • Use Pythagoras’ theorem If you forget this formula or forget how to apply it, just use Pythagoras’ theorem instead.

  3. Example 1 Calculate the distance between the points P(6, –1) and Q(–2, 5). 6 8 Does it matter which point is (x1, y1) or (x2, y2)? NO, either point can be!!! Remember to show the units, normally “u” in this style of question

  4. Example 2 Calculate the exact distance between the points E(2, 5) and F(–4, 1). 4 6 I would let the point with negative values be (x1, y1). If you need an exact answer, make sure you leave it as a surd. For now we will stop here BUT, you can simplify If the question does not specify how it wants the answer, give an exact answer.
