Question

Find the distance between the points: (-6, 7) and (-1,-5). In your final answer , include the formaula and calculations that you used to find the distance.

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We have two points (-6, 7) and (-1, -5).

Substitute:

`d=√((-1-(-6))^2+(-5-7)^2)=√((-1+6)^2+(-12)^2)\\\\=√(5^2+12^2)=√(25+144)\\\\=√(169)=13`
