Question

Find the distance between (3,-6)
and (2,-4).
please help

Answer 1

`√(99)`

Explanation:

you can use the distance formula to find the distance between two given points.

the distance formula is:

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)`

so if you simply plug in you get:

`d = √((2 - 3)^2 + (-4-(-6))^2)`

simplify

`d = √((-1)^2 + (-10)^2)\\`

simplify again

`d = √(-1 + 100)\\`

and again

`d = √(99)\\`

and you have an answer
