Question

Find the distance between (3,-6) and (2,-4). please help

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{99}$

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the distance formula to find the distance between two given points.

the distance formula is:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

so if you simply plug in you get:

$d = \sqrt{(2 - 3)^2 + (-4-(-6))^2}$

simplify

$d = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (-10)^2}$

simplify again

$d = \sqrt{-1 + 100}$

and again

$d = \sqrt{99}$

and you have an answer
