problem_activity: Task
Plot the points (5,3), (-1,1), and (2,-3) in the coordinate plane and find the lengths of the three segments connecting the points.
Find the distance between (5,9) and (-4,2) without plotting the points.
If $(u,v)$ and $(s,t)$ are two distinct points in the plane, what is the distance between them? Explain how you know.
Does your answer to (c) agree with your calculations in parts (a) and (b)? Explain.
