Coordinate Geometry EP2 — Distance Between Two Points
How do we find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?
In this episode of MathExam, we build the distance formula step by step from horizontal and vertical distances, then use Pythagoras’ theorem to derive
d = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]
You’ll learn how to:
• find horizontal and vertical distances
• form a right-angled triangle between two points
• derive the distance formula using Pythagoras’ theorem
• substitute coordinates correctly
• work with negative coordinates
• understand why the order of the two points does not affect the distance
• avoid common mistakes
• solve an exam-style practice question
Suitable for students studying Coordinate Geometry for GCSE, GCE and HKDSE Mathematics.
