Question

Find the distance between the points (7, – 9) and ( – 2, – 4).

Answer 1

Answer:

7.07106781187

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use the  distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2}$

x2=2

x1=7

y2=4

y1=9

$d = \sqrt{(2 - 7)^{2} + (4-9)^2}$

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

$d = \sqrt{25 + 25}$

$d = \sqrt{50}$

d=7.07106781187 (round to whatever digit neccesary)

Hope this helps!!
