Question

Find the distance between these two points -7,0) and (-2,-4)

Answer 1

`√(41)`

Explanation:

You need to use the distance formula:

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

d =
`\sqrt{ (-2 - (-7))^(2) + (-4 - 0)^(2) }`

=
`\sqrt{(5)^(2) + (-4)^(2) }`

=
`√(25 + 16)`

=
`√(41)`

Answer 2

41

Explanation:

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula
