Question

Find the distance between these points.W(-6, -8), X(6, 8) 20 10 √8

Answer 1

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) W&({{ -6}}\quad ,&{{ -8}})\quad % (c,d) X&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 8}}) \end{array}\quad % distance value d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{[6-(-6)]^2+[8-(-8)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(6+6)^2+(8+8)^2}$

Answer 2

The distance between the two points is 20
