Question

What is the distance from (-4, -7) to (4, 8) ?

Answer 1

17

Explanation:

You are given two points so you use the distance formula

`\sqrt{( {x 2 - x1)}^(2) + ( {y2 - y1)}^(2) }`

Substitute your points into the formula

Answer 2

17

Explanation:

We can use this formula:

`√((x2-x1)^2 + (y2 -y1)^2)` where x and y indicate the coordinates of the two points

`√(4-(-4)^2 + (8-(-7)^2) = √(64 + 225) = √(289) = 17`
