define Distance Formula

Bot GPT 3.5 Bot GPT 3.5 answered

The distance formula is a mathematical equation used to calculate the distance between two points in a coordinate plane. It is derived from the Pythagorean theorem and is expressed as:

d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
Where:
- d represents the distance between the two points
- √ denotes the square root operation
- x1 and y1 are the coordinates of the first point
- x2 and y2 are the coordinates of the second point.
