Question

(-6, -2) and (5, 1) find the distance between these two points using the distance formula

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 11.401754

Answer 2

Answer: Approximately 11.4 units

================================================

Work Shown:

(x1,y1) is the first point (-6,-2)

(x2,y2) is the second point (5,1)

Apply the distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-6-5)^2+(-2-1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-11)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{121+9}\\\\d = \sqrt{130}\\\\d \approx 11.4017542509913\\\\d \approx 11.4$

The distance between the two points is roughly 11.4 units.
