Question

Find the distance between the points (-7,5) and (6,5).

Answer 1

13 units

Explanation:

(-7 , 5) = (x1 , y1)

(6 , 5) = (x2 , y2)

distance =
`√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)`

=
`\sqrt{{6 - (-7)}^2 + (5 - 5)^2}`

=
`√((6 + 7)^2 + (0)^2)`

=
`√((13)^2 + 0)`

=
`√(169)`

= 13 units

Answer 2

13 units

Explanation:

Hi there!

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)` where two given points are
`(x_1,y_1)` and
`(x_2,y_2)`

Plug in the given points (-7,5) and (6,5)

`d=√((6-(-7))^2+(5-5)^2)\\d=√((6+7)^2+(5-5)^2)\\d=√((13)^2+(0)^2)\\d=√((13)^2)\\d=13`

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 13 units.

I hope this helps!
