Question

What is the difference from the point (-6,2) to the point (2,17)?

Answer 1

Answer: Distance is 17

Step-by-step explanation:

$d = √((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)$

$(x2-x1) = (2 -6) = 8$

$(y2-y1) = (17 - 2) = 15$

Add them all together

$(8)2 + (15)2 = 64 + 225 = 289$

Square 289

$\sqrt{289} =17$
