Question

Find the distance between the pair of points V(-2,5) M(0,-4)

Answer 1

The distance between two points A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) will be:
dist (A,B)=√[(x₁-x₂)²+(y₁-y₂)²]
In this case:
V(-2,5)
M(0,-4)
dist (V, M)=√[(-2-0)²+(5+4)²]=√(4+36)=√40

Answer: the distance between this points would be √40 u
u=units of  distance.
