Question

Find the distance between the points (4,-2) and (0,10)

Answer 1

We can solve this problem by using the distance formula. The distance formula is: $\sqrt{(x_{1}-x)^{2} + (y_{1} - y)^{2}}$ We can now put in values and solve.

$\sqrt{(4-0)^{2} + (-2-10)^{2}}$  

$\sqrt{16 + 144}$

$\sqrt{160}$
