Question

What is the distance between (-6, 2) and (8, 10) on a coordinate grid?

Answer 1

The answer is 2(the square root of 65 )

Explanation:

Plug ( -6, 2) and (8, 10) into the distance formula and solve.

Distance = the square root of ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2))

Distance = the square root of ((8 - -6)^2 + (10 - 2)^2))

Distance = the square root of (14^2 + 8^2)

Distance = the square root of (196 + 64)

Distance = the square root of 260 which can be simplified to 2(the square root of 64)
