Question

What is the distance between the two points (-8,-6) and (-2,4)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\sqrt{136}$ = 11.66 units

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between 2 points (a,b) and (c,d) = $\sqrt{(a^{2}-c^{2} ) +(b^{2}-d^{2} ) }$

= $\sqrt{((-8)^{2}-(-2)^{2} ) + ((-6)^{2}-4^{2}) }$

=$\sqrt{136}$

= 11.66 units
