Question

Find the distance between the points (0, 0) and (6, -8). 4 √28 10

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Here (x2, y2) = (6, -8)  and (x1, y1) = (0, 0)

Plugging them gives us

d = √[(6 - 0)² + (-8 - 0)²]

     d = √[(6)² + (-8)²]

        d = √[36 + 64]

           d = √100

               d = 10
