Question

Find the distance between the points (4, –2) and (0, 10). A:8.94 B:14.95 C:12.65 D:8.5. thanks!

Answer 1

C:12.65

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_1 - y_1)^2)`

x1 = 4, y1 = -2, x2 = 0, y2 = 10

`d = √((0 - 4)^2 + (10 - (-2))^2)`

`d = √((- 4)^2 + (12)^2)`

`d = √(16 + 144)`

`d = √(160)`

`d = 12.65`

Answer: C: 12.65
