Question

Find the distance between the points L(7, -1) and MC – 2, 4).

Answer 1

The distance between the points

d = LM = 10.24

Explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the points are L ( 7,-1) and M (-2,4)

The distance formula

LM =
`\sqrt{(x_(2) -x_(1))^(2) +(y_(2) -y_(1) )^(2) }`

Step(ii):-

`LM= \sqrt{(-2-7)^(2) +(4-(-1) )^(2) }`

LM =
`\sqrt{(-9)^(2) +(5)^(2) }`

LM = √106

LM = 10.29

The distance between the points

d = LM = 10.24
