Question

I need help please, find the distance between (8 ,6) and (3 -6)

Answer 1

distance = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated as

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Replacing (x1, y1) = (8, 6) and (x2, y2) = (3, -6), we get that the distance between these points is

`\begin{gathered} d=√((3-8)^2+(-6-6)^2) \\ \\ d=√((-5)^2+(-12)^2) \\ \\ d=√(25+144) \\ \\ d=√(169) \\ \\ d=13 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the distance between the points is 13.
