Question

Find the distance between the pair of points. (-7,4) and (2,-5)

Answer 1

Answer:

$length = \sqrt{ {(x _{2} - x _{1} ) {}^{2} + (y _{2} - y _{1} )}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {(2 - ( - 7))}^{2} + {( - 5 - 4)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{ {9}^{2} + {( - 9)}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{81 + 81} \\ \sqrt{162} \\ = 12.7 \: units$
