Question

What is the distance between (-6,4) and (-8,6)? Choose 1 answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance between (-6, 4) and (-8, 6).

We can use the distance formula given by:

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

Let (-6, 4) be (x₁, y₁) and let (-8, 6) be (x₂, y₂).

Substitute:

$d=\sqrt{(-8-(-6))^2+(6-4)^2$

Evaluate:

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

Evaluate:

$d=\sqrt{4+4}=\sqrt{8}$

Hence, our answer is D.
