Answer:
Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.
Distance
=
√(x2−x1)^2 + (y2−y1)^2
Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.
√ ( (−6) − 0)^2 +( (−3) − 4)^2
Subtract 0 from −6
√(−6)^2 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2
Raise −6 to the power of 2
√36 + ( ( −3 ) −4 )^2
Subtract 4 from −3
√36 + ( −7 )^2
Raise −7 to the power of 2
√ 36 + 49
Add 36 and 49
√85
Put -4 in place of x
-4 to the second power is 16 so it would be 16-(-12)= 28
If you solve this problem using the substitution method then,
X = - 8
Y = - 4
2 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
4+4= 8
12-8=4
4 divided by 2= 2 feet :)
