Find the distance between the pair of points: (2,0) and (6,-3)

Answer 1

The distance between the pair of points is 5 units.

Explanation:

The first thing we must know in order to solve this problem is the distance formula.

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

We will use the coordinate point (2,0) for our (x₂,x₁) and the coordinate point (6,-3) for our (y₂,y₁). Now, let's plug in these numbers into our formula.

`d=√((6-2)^2+(-3-0)^2)`

`d=√((4)^2+(-3)^2)`

`d=√(16+9)`

`d=√(25)`

`d=5`

So, the distance between the two given points is 5 units.
