Question

Find the distance between these points.W(-6, -8), X6, 8)O 101820

Answer 1

To find the distance between two points, we can use the following formula:

`\text{distance}=√((x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2)`

Where the points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).

So, if we want to find the distance between the points (-6, -8) and (6, 8), we have that:

`\begin{gathered} \text{distance}=√((-6-6)^2+(-8-8)^2) \\ \text{distance}=√((-12)^2+(-16)^2) \\ \text{distance}=\sqrt{144+256^{}} \\ \text{distance}=√(400) \\ \text{distance}=20 \end{gathered}`

So the distance between the points is 20.
