Question

What is the distance between (-1,4) and (2,0)

Answer 1

Answer: 5

The Distance between the coordinates of two points is measured by distance formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distance between the coordinates of two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is measured by

Distance PQ= $\sqrt{}$(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

So, the distance between (-1,4 ) and (2,0) can be calculated by

Distance= $\sqrt{}$(2-(-1))²+(0-4)²

              = $\sqrt{}$(3)²+(-4)²

              =$\sqrt{}$9+16 = $\sqrt{}$25                                                  as    $\sqrt{}$25 = 5

Distance = 5

So the distance between the two coordinates is 5.
