Question

What is the distance between the points (2, 1) and (14, 6) on a coordinate
plane?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

13 units

Explanation:

The distance is found using the distance formula:

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

d = √((14 -2)² +(6 -1)²) = √(144 +25) = 13

The distance between the two points is 13 units.
