Question

Find the distance between each pair of points (6,-2) (8,-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between two points:

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

we have:

(6, -2), (8, -3)

$x_{1} = 6$

$y_{1} =-2$

$x_{2} = 8$

$y_{2} =-3$

so we have:

$d =\sqrt{(8-6)^{2}+ (-3-(-2))^{2}}\\\\d =\sqrt{(2)^{2}+ (-1)^{2}}\\\\d = \sqrt{4+ 1}\\\\d=\sqrt{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:-1/2

Step-by-step explanation: You just find the slope which is m=y2-y1
