Question

Find the length of AN, A has coordinates (–4, –7), and N has coordinates (1, 5).

Answer 1

The length of AN is 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the length of AN, we can use the distance formula:

d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates of A (-4, -7) and N (1, 5), we have:

d = √((1 - -4)^2 + (5 - -7)^2)

d = √((1 + 4)^2 + (5 + 7)^2)

d = √(5^2 + 12^2)

d = √(25 + 144)

d = √169

d = 13

Therefore, the length of AN is 13 units.
