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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (4, 6)

Point (-2, -2)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

  1. Substitute [DF]:
    \displaystyle d = √((-2-4)^2+(-2-6)^2)
  2. Subtract:
    \displaystyle d = √((-6)^2+(-8)^2)
  3. Exponents:
    \displaystyle d = √(36+64)
  4. Add:
    \displaystyle d = √(100)
  5. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle d = 10
