Question

Distance between points -10,6 and 2, -3

Answer 1

15 units

Explanation:

calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }`

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 10, 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3 )

d =
`√((2-(-10))^2+(-3-6)^2)`

=
`√((2+10)^2+(-9)^2)`

=
`√(12^2+81)`

=
`√(144+81)`

=
`√(225)`

= 15 units
