Question

Find the distance between the points (-4, -2) and (-8, 6)

Answer 1

Points given

• (-4,-2)
• (-8,-6)

Distance:-

`\\ \sf \longmapsto √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto √((-8+4)^2+(6+2)^2)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto √((-4)^2+(8)^2)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto √(64+16)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto √(80)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto 8.4`

Answer 2

distance=√[(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²]

√[{6-(-2)}²+ (-8-(-4))²]

√(64+16)

√[100]
