Riko wants to find the distance between the points (−2, −3) and (2, −5). His work is shown. The distance is 8 units. Riko correct? Explain why or why not.

incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation he has done only calculates the distance between the y- coordinates of the points.

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula.

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 5)

d =

   =

   =

   = = = 2 ← exact distance

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
