  • Distance Formula:
    d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

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 = √((15+10)^2+(15-15)^2)
  2. Add/Subtract:
    d = √((25)^2+(0)^2)
  3. Exponents:
    d = √((25)^2)
  4. Evaluate:
    d = 25
