Question

Find the distance between the points (-5, -10) and (2, 4).

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 15.65

Answer 2

Ok, so I used the equation Y2 (4) - Y1 (-10) over X2 (2) -X1 (-5).
4 - -10 is 14 since if a minus sign is before a negative number, it becomes positive.
Same goes for 2 - -5. It is 7 since the minus sign is before the negative number. Final answer is 14/7 which can be simpflied to 2/1 since 14 divided by 7 =2. So the distance is 14\7, or 2\1.
