What is the distance between (−5,−4) and (-6,4)?

Mathematics

Helga [31]2 years ago

The distance formula is:  d  =  sqrt( (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 )

 

For this problem, let (-5, -4) be the "first" point, so  x1 = -5  and  y2 = -4

                      and let (-6, 4) be the "second" point, so  x2 = -6  and  y2 = 4.

 

Then:  d  =  sqrt( (-6 - -5)2 + (4 - -4)2 )  =  sqrt( (-1)2 + (8)2 )  =  sqrt( 1 + 64 )  =  sqrt( 65)

 

The distance formula is just the Pythagorean Theorem applied to an x-y graph.

 

You would get the same final answer if you let (-5, -4) be the second point and (-6, 4) be the first point.

Point C has the coordinates (–1, 4) and point D has the coordinates (2, 0). What is the distance between points C and D? units
maw [93]

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation;

We can use the formula for finding the length or magnitude of line joining two points.

Length = √((x2-x1)² + (y2-y1)²)

The points joining the line are C (-1,4) and D (2,0)

Length = √((2+1)² + (0-4)²)

            = √((3²) + (-4)²)

            = √ (9+16)

            = √25

            = 5 units

3 squared [5 + (2 - 4) squared] - 15 =
nevsk [136]
To solve we first need to simplify the equation 
3^2 [5 + ( 2 - 4)^2] - 15 is simplified to (3^2)(5 + (2 - 4) ^2] - 15

After you reduce (3^2)(5 + (2 - 4) ^2] - 15 you get 66

The answer is <span>3^2 [5+ (2-4)^2} - 15 = 66

Hope that helps! - Alyssa ;)
