IMDB rating: 5.80 Plot: Based on a true story, this twisting psychological thriller focuses on a serial arsonist whose terrifying six-year crime spree is juxtaposed with the increasingly desperate efforts of investigators to bring him to justice. Charged with investigating many of these fires is Captain John Orr (Ray Liotta), a legendary figure in the Glendale Fire Department, possessed with an uncanny ability to pinpoint the origins of a fire, as well as the devices by which an arsonist may have carried out the crime. Through a fingerprint left at the scene of one crime and a series of surprise revelations focusing on arsons set in several towns, the task force is able to close in on an unlikely suspect. . . and ultimately crack the case. |

How do you find the distance between any point and the origin (0,0) on a graph?
And how do you find the distance between two points on a graph?
(0,0) and (3,4)
(-2,6) and (98,6)
Use the distance formula, which basically creates a right triangle and measures the hypotenuse (http://www.purplemath.com/modules/xyplan e/dist03.gif ) as long as there is no common value. If either the x’s or y’s are the same, then it is a straight line, and simple addition will get you the answer.
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
v [(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2]
It actually doesn’t matter which one is 1 or 2, because distance is always a positive measure. As you can see, the squaring will take care of the negatives:
v [(0-3)^2 + (0-4)^2]
v (9 + 16)
5 units
You don’t even need the formula for the second one because the y values are both 6. That means it’s a straight line from x=-2 to x=98 (where y is always 6), which is a total of 100 units… Of course, to be safe, you can verify this with the distance formula.
