Answer 1

10

Explanation:

( - 1, - 2 )

Let,

x1 = - 1

y1 = - 2

( - 9, 4 )

Let,

x2 = - 9

y2 = 4

Formula : -

Distance = √ [ ( x1 - x2 )² + ( y1 - y2 )² ]

Distance = √ [ ( - 1 - ( - 9 ) )² + ( - 2 - 4 )² ]

= √ [ ( - 1 + 9 )² + ( - 6 )² ]

= √ [ 8² + ( - 6 )² ]

= √ [ 64 + 36 ]

= √100

Distance = 10
