Question

What is the distance between (-6. 2) and (8.10) on a coordinate grid?

Answer 1

The distance between 2 points is 16.1 units.

Explanation:

You have to apply distance formula using coordinates,

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

Let (x1,y1) be (-6,2),

Let (x2,y2) be (8,10)

`distance = \sqrt{ {(8 - ( - 6))}^(2) + {(10 - 2)}^(2) }`

`distance = √(196 + 64)`

`distance = √(260)`

`distance = 2 √(65)`

`distance = 16.1 \: units \: (3s.f)`
