You just have to substitute values of slope and vertical distance in formula and get value of horizontal distance. Similarly, any one of them can be found if other two are given. For instance, if you have a slope given in Percentage as 10 % and a vertical distance of 50 feet, then equation will look like:
The length of the hypotenuse is the distance between the two points. Since this format always works, it can be turned into a formula: Distance Formula: Given the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) , the distance between these points is given by the formula: Don't let the subscripts scare you. They only indicate that there is a first point and a second point; that is, that you have two points. Whichever one you call first or second is up to you.
