Question

Find the distance between (-6,4) and (-2,1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=2.65$

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:

$d=\sqrt{(-2-(-6))^2-(1-4)^2}$

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

$d=\sqrt{(4)^2-9}$

$d=\sqrt{16-9}$

$d=\sqrt{7}$

$d=2.65$
