Question

Find the distance between his house

Answer 1

Here we are supposed to find the distance between the two points

Suppose A=(-8,-9), B=(-4,-10)

Now As per the distance formula we know that the distance between two points is given by the formula

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\ \\ D= \sqrt{(-4+8)^2+(-10+9)^2}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-1)^2}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{16+1}\\ \\ D=\sqrt{17} \ miles$
