Find the distance betwen the folowing points.
a. (4, −9) and (1, −5)
b. 4 − 9i and 1 − 5i
c. Explain why they have the same answer numericaly in parts (a) and (b) but a diferent perspective in
geometric efect

Answer

a) (4, −9) and (1, −5)

distance between two points

 [tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

 [tex]D = \sqrt{(1-4)^2+(-5-(-9))^2}[/tex]

 [tex]D = \sqrt{9+16}[/tex]

        D = 5

b) 4 − 9 i and 1 − 5 i

  r = (4-1) + (-9 -(-5))i

  r = 3 - 4 i

[tex]D = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}[/tex]

[tex]D = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}[/tex]

[tex]D = \sqrt{9+16}[/tex]

[tex]D = \sqrt{25}[/tex]

D = 5

c) both the result are numerically same because complex number represent point on the graph where y -axis represent imaginary axis and x -axis is real value axis.
