Question

What is the distance between the points (-6, 7) and (-1, 1)

Answer 1

sqrt(61)

Explanation:

The distance between two points is found by the following formula

d = sqrt (( x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 )

= sqrt( (-1--6)^2 + (1-7)^2)

= sqrt( (-1+6)^2 + (1-7)^2)

= sqrt( (5)^2 + (6)^2)

= sqrt( 25 + 36)

= sqrt(61)
