Question

What is the distance between (-5 -5) and (-9 -2)

Answer 1

`\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2})\qquad \qquad d = √(( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2) \\\\\\ d=√([-9-(-5)]^2+[-2-(-5)]^2)\implies d=√((-9+5)^2+(-2+5)^2) \\\\\\ d=√((-4)^2+3^2)\implies d=√(16+9)\implies d=√(25)\implies d=5`
