Question

Find the distance between the points (-1,-5) and (-10,7).

Answer 1

Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

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

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, 7)

d = $\sqrt{(-10+1)^2+(7+5)^2}$

   = $\sqrt{(-9)^2+12^2}$

    = $\sqrt{81+144}$

    = $\sqrt{225}$

    = 15 units
