Answer:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given segment AB and point A with coordinates (x₁,y₁) and point B(x₂,y₂) as end points in the segment, the distance between the points forms the length of the segment AB and can be determined by the expression;
d=√ (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²
