Question

Find the distance between the two points.

(12,5), (-12, - 2)
The distance between the two points is
units.

Answer 1

-7/-24 or 7/24 simplefied

Explanation:

Answer 2

25 units

Explanation:

to find out the distance between these two points you will need to use the distance formula:

`\sqrt{(x1 - x2)^(2)+(y1 - y2)^(2) }`

the x1, x2, y1 and y2 refer to the numbers in the coordinates.

(12,5) (-12, -2)

the x1 refers to the x coordinate in the first bracket. the x2 refers to the x coordinate in the second bracket, etc.

`\sqrt{(12 - - 12)^(2)+(5 - -2)^(2) }`

double negatives equal positives

put this equation into your calculator:

`\sqrt{(12 + 12)^(2) + (5 + 2)^(2) }` = 25 units
