Question

Ok Find the distance from M to N on the coordinate plane if M(-5,8) and N(9,-2).

Answer 1

`\sqrt[]{(x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2}`

The above formula is used to find the distance betweent two points on the coordinate plane

let x1 = -5

let y1 = 8

let x2 = 9

let y2 = -2

inputing the following values in the above equation

`\sqrt[]{(-5-9)^2+(8-(-2)^2}`
`\sqrt[]{(-14)^2+(8+2)^2}`
`\sqrt[]{(-14)^2+10^2}`
`D=\sqrt[]{196\text{ + 100}}\text{ }`
`\sqrt[]{296}`
