3. Then/Now You found the slope of a line passing through two points on a coordinate plane. (Lesson 8–6) Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. Apply the Distance Formula to solve problems about figures on the coordinate plane.

4. Vocabulary Distance Formula The distance between two points, with coordinates (x 1, y 1 ) and (x 2, y 2 ), is given by d =

5. Concept A

6. Example 1 Find the Distance Between Two Points Find the distance between M(8, 4) and N(–6, –2). Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Use the Distance Formula. Distance Formula (x 1, y 1 ) = (8, 4), (x 2, y 2 ) = (–6, –2) Simplify. Evaluate (–14) 2 and (–6) 2.

7. Example 1 Find the Distance Between Two Points Add 196 and 36. Answer: The distance between points M and N is about 15.2 units. Take the square root.

9. Example 2 Use the Distance Formula SOCCER Javy kicks a ball from a position that is 2 yards behind the goal line and 4 yards from the sideline (–2, 4). The ball lands 8 yards past the goal line and 2 yards from the same sideline (8, 2). What distance, to the nearest tenth, was the ball kicked?

10. Example 2 Use the Distance Formula Distance Formula (x 1, y 1 ) = (–2, 4) (x 2, y 2 ) = (8, 2) Understand You know the coordinates of the two locations and that each unit represents 1 yard. You need to find the distance between the two points. Plan Use the Distance Formula to find the distance the ball was kicked. Solve

11. Example 2 Use the Distance Formula d ≈ 10.2 Answer: Javy kicked the ball 10.2 yards Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify. Check The distance is slightly greater than 10 yards, so the answer is reasonable. 

14. Example 3 Find the Perimeter Step 1 Use the Distance Formula to find the length of each side of the triangle. GEOMETRY Classify ΔXYZ by its sides. Then find its perimeter to the nearest tenth.

15. Example 3 Find the Perimeter Distance Formula (x 1, y 1 ) = (–5, 1), (x 2, y 2 ) = (–2, 4) Side XY: X(–5, 1), Y(–2, 4) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify.

16. Example 3 Find the Perimeter Side YZ: Y(–2, 4), Z(–3, –3) Distance Formula (x 1, y 1 ) = (–2, 4), (x 2, y 2 ) = (–3, –3) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify.

17. Example 3 Find the Perimeter Side ZX: Z(–3, –3), X(–5, 1) Distance Formula (x 1, y 1 ) = (–3, –3), (x 2, y 2 ) = (–5, 1) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify.

18. Example 3 Find the Perimeter Step 2 Add the lengths of the sides to find the perimeter. Answer: The triangle is scalene. The perimeter is about 15.8 units. None of the sides are congruent. So, ΔXYZ is scalene.
