Distance Formula and Operations Review

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the distance between two points using the distance formula. It covers the importance of correctly identifying coordinates, handling negative numbers, and following the order of operations (PEMDAS). The tutorial provides a step-by-step example, emphasizing the need to square differences and add them before taking the square root. Key points include careful handling of negative numbers and understanding the sequence of operations.

What is the correct notation for writing coordinates of a point?

• (1x, 1y) and (2x, 2y)

• (a, b) and (b, a)

• (x, y) and (y, x)

• (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
