Question

Find the distance between the points (0,10) and (-9,1)

Answer 1

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{10})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-9}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{(-9-0)^2+(1-10)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-9)^2+(-9)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{81+81}\implies d=\sqrt{162}\implies d\approx 12.73$
