Question

What is the length of AB when A is (-7,-6) and B is (1,0)

Answer 1

The answer is

10 units

Explanation:

The distance between two points can be found by using the formula

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

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

A (-7,-6) and B (1,0)

The distance between them is

`|AB| = \sqrt{( { - 7 - 1})^(2) + ({ - 6 - 0})^(2) } \\ = \sqrt{ ({ - 8})^(2) + ({ - 6})^(2) } \\ = √(64 + 36) \\ = √(100) \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:`

We have the final answer as

10 units
