If two points A and B have the same y-coordinate then A and B lie on a line parallel to the x-axis and the distance between A and B is the difference between their x-coordinates. See fig. Note that
Similarly, if two points C and D have the same x-coordinate, then C and D lie on a straight line parallel to the y-axis and the distance between them is the difference between their y-coordinates. See fig. Note that
Distance Formula:The length of the segment AB which joins Proof: We plot points P and Q on the Cartesian plane and construct right triangle PQN. Note that N is the point of intersection of the line drawn through P and parallel to the x-axis, and the line through Q and parallel to the y-axis. As PN is parallel to the x-axis, P and N have the same y-coordinates. Thus, y-coordinate of N is Next, as QN is parallel to the y-axis, Q and N have the same x-coordinates. Thus, the x-coordinate of N is Now, PN = By Pythagoras theorem,
Note: Distance of the point P(x,y) from the origin (0,0) is given by |

Illustration: Find the distance between A(2, -3) and B(-3, -8)
Solution: Here
We know that
Illustration: If A is the point (x,2), B is (2, -2) and AB = 5 units, find all possible values of x.
Solution: Given A(x,2) and B(2, -2) are the two points. Also AB = 5
We have,
Thus, possible values of x are -1 and 5.
Illustration:Find the value of k if the point P(0,2) is equidistant from A(3,k) and B(k,5)
Solution:
We are given AP = BP
Illustration: Find the coordinates of the circumcentre of the triangle whose angular points are A(8,6), B(8, -2) and C(2, -2).
Solution: Let P(x,y) be the circumcentre of
Then
As
we get
Next, since
we get
Thus, circumcentre of the triangle ABC is (5,2).
