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

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point P(-10, 15)

Point T(15, 15)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d.

1. Substitute {DF]:                    $d = \sqrt{(15+10)^2+(15-15)^2}$
2. Add/Subtract:                       $d = \sqrt{(25)^2+(0)^2}$
3. Exponents:                           $d = \sqrt{(25)^2}$
4. Evaluate:                              $d = 25$
