A displacement vector begins at the point (2,3) on a Cartesian plane and ends at (5, 7). Calculate the length of this vector

Answer :

Answer:

The length is d = 5

Explanation:

We must identify the respective coordinates of both points.

(x1,y1) = (2,3)

(x2,y2) = (5,7)

Now we know the distance equation of a straight line:

[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{2} -x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2} -y_{1} )^{2} } \\d=\sqrt{(5-2)^{2} +(7-3)^{2} }\\ d=\sqrt{9+16} \\d=5[/tex]
