Question

Find the distance between the points (-6,-2), (2,7)

Answer 1

Answer:

9 up, 8 right

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

$d=12.0416$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(2-(-6))^2+(7-(-2))^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(2+6)^2+(7+2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(9)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{64+81}$

$d=\sqrt{145}$

$d=12.0416$
