Question

Find the distance between the points given 2,-7 -5,-8

Answer 1

Answer:

$5\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\sqrt{((-5)-2)^2+((-8)-(-7))^2}$

$\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-8+7)^2}$

$\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-1)^2}$

$\sqrt{49+1}$

$\sqrt{50}$

$\sqrt{25(2)}$

$\sqrt{5^2(2)}$

$5\sqrt{2}$
