Question

8.
What is the distance between the two points?
(-5,7)
(7,2)

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to solve for the distance between two points.

`d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2`

Plug in your coordinate points.

`d=\sqrt{(7-(-5))^2 + (2-7)^2`

`d=\sqrt{(12)^2 + (-5)^2`

`d=\sqrt{144 + 25`

`d=\sqrt{169`

d= 13
