Answer 1

Answer:

the distance between the 2 points is 6.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

point 1 has the coordinates (-4, -2).

point 2 has the coordinates (1, 2).

the distance between both points is the Hypotenuse of the right- angled triangle of the coordinate difference lines in parallel to x- and y-axis.

so, how long is the difference in x dimension ?

and his long is the difference in y dimension ?

these are the sides of the triangle.

the difference in x dimension :

1 - -4 = 1 + 4 = 5

the difference in y dimension :

2 - -2 = 2 + 2 = 4

P1P2² = 4² + 5² = 16 + 25 = 41

P1P2 = sqrt(41) = 6.4
