Answer 2

12.21

Explanation:

Step 1: You got to find the distance between your x's

Step 2: You got to find the distance between your y's

Step 3: Apply Pythagorean Theorem: That is do:

`\sqrt{ (\text{ distance of x})^2+( \text{ distance of y})^2}\\`

So x distance is 10 (I just did 6-(-4))

So y distance is 7 (I just did 8-1 )

As per the formula, I'm going to square both... Then add those squared results together like so 100+49=149

Last step is the square root...

`√(149) \approx 12.21`
