Question

Find the distance between the points (6,3) and (-1,-6).

Answer 1

`√(130)`

Explanation:

6 - (-1) = 7

3 - (-6) = 9

7^2 + 9^2 = c^2

49 + 81 = c^2

c^2 = 130

Answer 2

All you need is the distance formula. The distance betwen two points

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is d= sqrt((x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2)

plugging in the values we get:

d= sqrt((6-(-6))2 + (6-1)2)

= sqrt((6+6)2+52)

= sqrt(144+25)

= sqrt(169)

= 13
