Question

Find the Distance between the points (-6,5)and(8, -3)

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=16.1245$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(8-(-6))^2+(-3-5)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(8+6)^2+(-8)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(14)^2+64}$

$d=\sqrt{196+64}$

$d=\sqrt{260}$

$d=16.1245$
