Question

Find the distance between 6,-2 and 1,-2​

Answer 1

The distance:

`d = 5`

Explanation:

To find the distance between points
`(6,-2)` and
`(1,-2)`, you need the distance formula:

`d = \sqrt{(x_(2) - x_(2))^(2) + (y_(2) - y_(1))^(2)}`

-Use the given points
`(6,-2)` and
`(1.-2)` for the distance formula:

`d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}`

-Then, solve the formula:

`d = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^(2) + (-2 + 2)^(2)}`

`d = \sqrt{(-5)^(2) + (0)^(2)}`

`d = \sqrt{25 + 0^(2)}`

`d = √(25 + 0)`

`d = √(25)`

`d = 5`

So, the distance is
`5`.

Answer 2

The distance between (6,-2) and (1,-2) is 5.
