Question

Calculate the distance between two points (-6,8) and (-8,3) ?

Answer 1

-8 - -6
over
3 - 8

-2 over -5 so 2/5

Answer 2

d = √29

Explanation:

Use the distance formula d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

d = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

d = √(-8 - -6)² + (3 - 8)²

d = √(-2)² + (5)²

d = √4 + 25

d = √29
