Question

Find the distance between the points (-6 7) and (-1 -5)

Answer 1

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding the distance between two points, we can just use the distance formula.

$d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

-6 is x1, 7 is y1. -1 is x2, -5 is y2.

$\sqrt{(-1-(-6))^2+(-5-7)^{2} }$

Simplify inside the parenthesis.

$\sqrt{(5)^2+(-12)^2}$

Simplify the exponents.

$\sqrt{25+144}$

$\sqrt{169}$

The square root of 169 is 13.
