Question

Find the distance (-2, 1) and (4,3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\sqrt{10}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula states that $D(x_{1} ,y_{1})(x_{2},y_{2} )=\sqrt{(x_{2} } -x_{1} )^2+(y_{2}-y_{1} )^2$.

We then plug in our points and compute.$\sqrt{(4-(-2))^2+(3-1)^2} =\sqrt{6^2+2^2} =\sqrt{36+4} =\sqrt{40} =\sqrt{2^2*2*5} =2*\sqrt{2*5} =2\sqrt{10}$

The * represents multiplication.
