1. Find the distance between the two points graphed below.

To find the distance between two points, you can use the distance formula: \( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \). Just plug in the coordinates of your points. For instance, if your points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), square the differences of their x-coordinates and y-coordinates, sum them, and then take the square root of the result for the distance! Remember to check your work! A common mistake is to forget to square the differences before summing. A simple miscalculation can throw off your total distance, so take a moment to double-check each step. It’s like giving your math problem a little hug of reassurance!
