Question

Find the distance between the ordered pairs (1,-6) and (-4,11)

Answer 1

d=
`√(314)`

Explanation:

The distance is given by the following equation:

`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2)-y_(1))^(2) }`

The solution to the above that we are looking is positive only, in case it comes two solutions.

So:

X1=1

Y1=-6

X2=-4

Y2=11

Performing the operation we have:

d=
`√(314)`
