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

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

Point R(-2, -4)

Point S(-8, -6)

Step 2: Find distance d

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

  1. Substitute in points[DF]:
    \displaystyle d = √((-8+2)^2+(-6+4)^2)
  2. (Parenthesis) Add:
    \displaystyle d = √((-6)^2+(-2)^2)
  3. [√Radical] Exponents:
    \displaystyle d = √(36+4)
  4. [√Radical] Add:
    \displaystyle d = √(40)
  5. [√Radical] Simplify:
    \displaystyle d = 2√(10)
