Question

Distance between the two points ? (-3,10) and (3,-2)

Answer 1

100

Explanation:

Answer 2

Approximately 13.4 units.

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula. The distance formula is:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

x₁ and y₁ is one coordinate while x₂ and y₂ is the other.

Let (-3,10) be x₁ and y₁ and let (3,-2) be x₂ and y₂. Plug in the numbers and simplify:

`d=√((3-(-3))^2+(-2-10)^2)\\ d=√(6^2+(-12)^2) \\d=√(36+144) \\d=√(180)\\ d=√(36\cdot5)=6√(5)\approx13.4164`
