Stage 5 · Linear relationships C (Path) · Apply the distance formula to find the distance between 2 points located on the Cartesian plane · Topic: Linear relationships · Year 9, 10
Apply knowledge of Pythagoras’ theorem to establish the formula for the distance (d) between the 2 points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2) on the Cartesian plane: d = √((x_2 - x_1)² + (y_2 - y_1)²)
