Question

Someone please help me answer this!!

Answer 1

The answer is d=8.6 units

Answer 2

8.6 units is the answer.

Explanation:

points are (1,-7) and (-6,-2)

Pythagorean theorem can be written as,

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2) \\\\d=√((-6-1)^2 + (-2-(-7))^2)\\\\d=√((-7\\)^2+(5)^2) \\\\d=√(49+25) \\\\d=√(74) \\\\d=8.602...`

Rounding off,

d = 8.6 units.
