Question

What is the distance between the two points (6, -2) and (4,6)?

Answer 1

use the distance formula;

d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)² (6, -2), (4, 6)

d = √(4 - 6)² + (6 - (-2)²

d = √(-2)² + (8)²

d = √4 + 64

d = √68 or 2√17 or 8.25

hope this helps, God bless!

Answer 2

The distance is 8.246 units.
That is because if we make a right triangle with these points and use the pythagorean theorem, we will get the diagonal's length.
