Question

Find the Distance between the points (-6,5)and(8, -3)

Answer 1

`d=16.1245`

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find distance d:

`d=√((8-(-6))^2+(-3-5)^2)`

`d=√((8+6)^2+(-8)^2)`

`d=√((14)^2+64)`

`d=√(196+64)`

`d=√(260)`

`d=16.1245`
