Question

Find the distance between (3,7) and (-1,4)​

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

To find the distance between two points, use the distance formula,
`d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \\`. The
`x_1` and
`y_1` represent the x and y values of one point, while the
`x_2` and
`y_2` represent the x and y values of another point. Thus, substitute the x and y values of the given points into the appropriate places of the formula and solve:

`d = √(((-1)-(3))^2+((4)-(7))^2) \\d = √((-1-3)^2+(4-7)^2) \\d = √((-4)^2+(-3)^2) \\d = √(16 + 9 ) \\d = √(25) \\d = 5`

Thus, the distance is 5 units.
