Question

What is the difference between the ordinates of the points ( -2, 3 ) and ( 5, 8 )?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2} -y_{1} })^{2} } \\=\sqrt{(5-(-2))^{2}+(8-3)^{2} } \\=\sqrt{(7)^{2} }+(5)^{2} \\= \sqrt{49+25} \\=\sqrt{74} unit$

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• $x_1$ = -2
• $y_1$ = 3
• $x_2$ = 5
• $y_2$ = 8

To find :

• Distance between the ordinates of the points.

Solution :

Using distance formula:

=> $\sqrt{ (x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{(5-(-2)^2+(8-3)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{(7)^2+(5)^2}$

=> $\sqrt{(49+25)}$

=> $\sqrt{74}$ units it the difference between the ordinates of the points (-2,3) and (5,8).
