Question

Find the distance between each pair of points

Answer 1

Answer: the correct answer is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the distance between two points on a straight line is expressed as

Distance = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²

Where

x2 represents final value of x on the horizontal axis

x1 represents initial value of x on the horizontal axis.

y2 represents final value of y on the vertical axis.

y1 represents initial value of y on the vertical axis.

From the graph given,

x2 = - 7

x1 = 5

y2 = - 7

y1 = 9

Therefore,

Distance = √(- 7 - 5)² + (- 7 - 9)²

Distance = √(- 12²) + (- 16)²

= √(144 + 256) = √400

Distance = 20
