Question

What is the distance from (-1,-14) and (-2,-6)?

Answer 1

d =
`√(65)`

Explanation:

The distance between two points is found by

d =
`√(( x2-x1)^2 + ( y2-y1)^2)` where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points

d =
`√((-2 - -1)^2+(-6 - -14)^2 )`

d =
`√(( -2+1)^2 + (-6+14)^2)\\`

d =
`√((-1)^2 +( 8)^2 )`

d =
`√(1+64)`

d =
`√(65)`
