Question

Im not sure how to find the distance between the points.

Answer 1

Given,

the coordinates of the point is P(-4, -1) and N(1, -8).

Required

The distance between the point P and N.

The distance between the point P and N.

`\begin{gathered} Distance=√((1-(-4))^2+(-1-(-8))^2) \\ =√(5^2+(7)^2) \\ =√(25+49) \\ =√(74) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the distance between the points is sqrt(74).
