Question 1

Two points are plotted on the coordinate plane. The points are connected by a line segment that is neither horizontal nor vertical. Which approach correctly uses the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the segment?
Form a right triangle where the segment is the hypotenuse; the two legs are horizontal and vertical. Apply \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\).
Add the two coordinates of each point and subtract.
Multiply the differences in \(x\) and \(y\).
The length is always equal to \(x_2 - x_1\).
