Answer:

(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two points are:

A(3,k) and B(h,4)

Now, using the distance formula that is=[tex]\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}[/tex].

In the given points, [tex]y_{2}=4[/tex],[tex]y_{1}=k[/tex],[tex]x_{2}=h[/tex] and [tex]x_{1}=3[/tex], thus,

[tex]\sqrt{(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}+(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}}[/tex]=[tex]\sqrt{(4-k)^{2}+(h-3)^{2}}[/tex]

which is the required equation, hence option 5 is correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

      2)   [tex]\sqrt{(k-4)^2+(3-h)^2}[/tex]

      3)   [tex]\sqrt{(h-3)^2+(4-k)^2}[/tex]

      4)    [tex]\sqrt{(3-h)^2+(k-4)^2}[/tex]

      5)    [tex]\sqrt{(4-k)^2+(h-3)^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance between two points with the help of the distance formula.

The distance between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is calculated by the formula:

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

which is similar to the expression:

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(-(a-c)^2)+(-(b-d)^2)}\\\\i.e.\\\\Distance=\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}[/tex]

or

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(a-c)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

or

Distance=\sqrt{(c-a)^2+(b-d)^2}[/tex]

Here we are asked to find the distance between the point A(3,k) and B(h,4)

The distance is given by:

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(h-3)^2+(4-k)^2}[/tex]

which is also written by:

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(h-3)^2+(k-4)^2}[/tex]

or

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(3-h)^2+(4-k)^2}[/tex]

or

[tex]Distance=\sqrt{(3-h)^2+(k-4)^2}[/tex]
