Question

Find the distance between the points: (–6, 7) and (–1, –5). In your final answer, include the formula and calculations that you used to find the distance.

Answer 1

(–6, 7) and (–1, –5)

= √ [(−1−(−6))^2 + (−5−7)^2]

= √ (25+144)

= √ 169

= 13

Answer 2

To find distance between points A(xA,yA) and B(xB,yB),

formula:

d(A,B)=√ [(xB−xA)^2+(yB−yA)^2]

so distance between the points: (–6, 7) and (–1, –5)
= √ [(−1−(−6))^2 + (−5−7)^2]
= √ (25+144)
= √ 169
= 13

answer
13
