The distance between (-5 , -8) and (-1 , -16) is 8.9 units ⇒ 1st answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between points and
is
To find the distance between two points
- Chose one of the two point to be
- Use the other point to be
- Substitute them in the rule of the distance
∵ The first point is (-5 , -8)
∵ the second point is (-1 , -16)
∴ = -5 and = -1
∴ = -8 and = -16
- Substitute these values in the rule of the distance
∵
∴
∴
∴
∴
∴ d = 8.9 units
The distance between (-5 , -8) and (-1 , -16) is 8.9 units
