Question

Find the distance between M(-2,3) and N(8,2)

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=\sqrt{101}$

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 distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(8-(-2))^2+(2-3)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(8+2)^2+(-1)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(10)^2+1}$

$d=\sqrt{100+1}$

$d=\sqrt{101}$
