Fill in the blank question.

Answer 1

Answer: = 17

Explanation: The formula to find the distance between the two points is usually given by d=√((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²).

Here x1 = -6, x2 = 2, y1 = 11 and y2 = -4

Therefore d = √((2-(-6)² + (-4-11)²

d = √(8)² + (-15)²

d = √64 + 225

d = √289

d = 17
