The distance between the points is
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of the distance between two points and
is
To find the distance between two point:
- Put one of the two point as
- Put the other point as
- Substitute then in the rule of the distance and calculate the distance
∵ The two points are (18 , -2) and (6 , -10)
- Put (18 , -2) as and (6 , -10) as
∴ = 18 and = 6
∴ = -2 and = -10
- Substitute them in the rule below
∵
∴
∴
∴
∵ (-12)² = 144 and (-8)² = 64
∴
∴
∵
∴
