Question

(7, 8) and (-1, 0)find the distance between the two points?

Answer 1

The distance (d) between two points is computed as follows:

`d\text{ = }√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)^{}`

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the points of interest. In this case, the points are (7, 8) and (-1, 0). Replacing into the equation:

`d\text{ = }\sqrt{(-1-7)^2+(0-8)^2\text{ }}`
`d\text{ = }√((-8)^2+(-8)^2)=√(128)`
