Question

Find the distance between the two points (-7,5) And (3,-4)

Answer 1

Distance = √(x2 − x1)^2 + (y2 − y1)^2

Substitute in the coordinates.

Distance = √(3 − (-7))^2 + ((-4) − 5)^2

Simplify by using order of operations/PEMDAS.

Distance = √(10)^2 + (-9)^2

Distance = √100 + 81

Distance = √181

The distance is √181 or 13.45362. However, I suggest leaving the distance as √181.
