Question

Find the distance between the points (-6,-2), (2,7)

Answer 1

9 up, 8 right

Explanation:

Answer 2

`d=12.0416`

Explanation:

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

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

`d=√((2-(-6))^2+(7-(-2))^2)`

`d=√((2+6)^2+(7+2)^2)`

`d=√((8)^2+(9)^2)`

`d=√(64+81)`

`d=√(145)`

`d=12.0416`
