Question

Distance between -9,6 and -2,1

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between the two points is $\bold{\sqrt{74} \ units}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two coordinate pairs: (-9, 6) and (-2, 1). We can use the distance formula to solve for the distance between the points.

• The distance formula is $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}.$

• In coordinates, the pairs are labeled as $(x_1, y_1) \ \text{and} \ (x_2, y_2).$

Therefore, with this formula, we can just substitute our values into the formula and solve for d.

$d=\sqrt{((-2)-(-9))^2+(1-6)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(49)+(25)}\\\small\boxed{\bold{d=\sqrt{74}}}$

The distance between the two points is $\bold{\sqrt{74} \ units}$.
