Question

Find the distance between (-4,-3) and (6,2).

Answer 1

Answer:

(about) 11.18034

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula to find the distance:

d = sqr (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)

Fill in the variables with what you know:

d = sqr ((6 - (-4)) + (2 - (-3)))

(Honestly it doesn't matter what order you put the x and y, as long as x2 and y2 make up the coordinates of one point and x1 and y1 make up the coordinates of the other)

 = sqr ((6 + 4)^2 + (2 +3)^2)

 = sqr ((10)^2 + (5)^2)

 = sqr (100 + 25)

 = sqr (125)

 = (about) 11.1803
