Question

Find the distance between the points (-10,-7) and (2,9).

Answer 1

20 (units)

Distance formula is:

Sqrt of (x-x1)^2+(y-y1)^2

So define which coordinate is (x,y) and what (x1,y1)

I’m going to define (-10,-7) as (x,y) and (2,9) as (x1,y1)

So plug in your variables!

Sqrt(-10-2)^2+(-7-9)^2

Sqrt-12^2+-16^2

Sqrt144+256

Sqrt400

So sqrt of 400 is 20! :))
