Question

What is the distance between (-2, -3) and (-4, 3)?

Answer 1

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

`\sqrt{x2 - x1) ^(2) } + (y2 - y1) ^(3)`

Let us assume x1=-4,x2=2,y1=3 and y2=-3

similarly, the distance between the points(-(-4,3)(2,-3) is,

`\sqrt{2 - ( - 4) ^(2) } + ( - 3 - 3) ^(2)`

`\sqrt{(6) ^(2) } + ( - 6) ^(2)`

`√(36 + 36)`

`6 √(2)`

• Hence, the distance between the points (-4,-5) and (2,-3) is
• 
  `6 √(2)`
