Question

W (-8,1) and x(4,-4) find the distance wx between the two points on a coordinate plane

Answer 1

Explanation:

W= (-8,1) → (x₁,y₁)

Y= (4,-4) → (x₂,y₂)

Distance of WY=
`\sqrt{(x1-x2)^(2)+(y1-y2)^(2) }`

=
`\sqrt{(-8-4)^(2)+(1--4)^(2) }`

=
`\sqrt{-12^(2)+5^(2) }`

=
`√(144+25)`

=
`√(169)`

= 13

∴ the distance WX between the two points on a coordinate plane is 13.

Answer 2

Distance between points = 13
