Question

Distance between the points L(7,-1) & M(-2,4)

Answer 1

Answer: 10.2956

Step-by-step explanation:

Input Data :

Point 1  ( x A , y A )  = (7, -1)

Point 2  ( x B , y B )  = (-2, 4)

Objective :

Find the distance between two given points on a line?

Formula :

Distance between two points =  √ ( x B − x A )2 + ( y B − y A ) 2

Solution :

Distance between two points =  √ ( − 2 − 7 ) 2 + ( 4 −  − 1 ) 2 =  √ ( − 9 ) 2 + 5 2

=  √ 81 + 25

=  √ 106  = 10.2956

Distance between points (7, -1) and (-2, 4) is 10.2956
