The distance between two points on a graph
There are two different ways to find the distance of a line segment.
The first is by drawing horizontal and vertical lengths with the segment to make a right angled triangle and use Pythagoras' Theorem.

The second is to use the Distance Formula and substitute the known coordinate values into the formula.
