Ex 9.1, 3 Find the distance between P (x1, y1) and Q (x2, y2) when: (i) PQ is parallel to the y-axis. Since PQ is parallel to y-axis x1 = x2. Distance PQ = √("(" 𝑥_2−𝑥_1 ")2 " +"(" 𝑦_2−𝑦_1 ")2" ) = √("(" 𝑥_2−𝑥_2 ")2 " +"(" 𝑦_2−𝑦_1 "2" ) = √((𝑦_2−𝑦_1 "2" )+0) = √("(" 𝑦_2−𝑦_1 ")2" ) = ± (𝑦_2−𝑦_1) = |"y2" −"y1" |
