Question

Find the distance between each pair of points

Answer 1

Use Distance Formula

Explanation:

You can find the distance between two points by using the distance formula which by definition is
`√((x_2-x_1 )^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 )`

For example take question 3. Plug your point values in to find the distance

Point 1 is (-1, 8)

Point 2 is (-3, -2)

You equation would look like:

`√((-3-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2)`

This simplifies to
`√((-2)^2+(-10)^2)`

=
`√(4+100)`

=
`√(104)`

=
`√(2(2)(26))`

=
`2√(26)`

That is the distance between the points (-1, 8) and (-3, -2)
