Question

Find the distance between the pair of points (-10,-3) and (6,-3)

Answer 1

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

`d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^(2)+(x2-x1)^(2)}`

In this problem we have

(x1,y1)=(-10,-3)

(x2,y2)=(6,-3)

substitute in the formula

`d=√((-3+3)^2+(6+10)^2)`
`d=√((0)^2+(16)^2)`

d=16 units

the distance is 16 units
