Question

Find the distance between points p (-3, 4) and q (1, 6)

Answer 1

`2√(5)`
`units`

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distance formula:

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

`\sqrt{(1-(-3)^(2)+(6-4)^(2) }`

`\sqrt{(1+3)^(2)+(2)^(2) }`

`\sqrt{(4)^(2)+4 }`

`√(16+4 )`

`√(20)`

`=2√(5)`
`units`
