Question

I think I asked this, but if you already know, feel free to answer again!!!!
30 POINTS

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ M(\stackrel{x_1}{7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquad A(\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-6})\qquad \qquad d = √(( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2) \\\\\\ MA=√((~~2 - 7~~)^2 + (~~-6 - (-2)~~)^2) \implies MA=√((2 -7)^2 + (-6 +2)^2) \\\\\\ MA=√(( -5 )^2 + ( -4 )^2) \implies MA=√( 25 + 16 ) \implies MA=√( 41 )`

mind you that the distance equation comes directly from the pythagorean theorem.

Answer 2

Answer:
`√(41)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula: D = √(2 - 7)2 + (-6 - -2)2

= √(-5)2 + (-4)2

= √41
