Question

Find the distance between (-6,4) and (-2,1)

Answer 1

`d=2.65`

Explanation:

Distance Formula:
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2-(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the formula to find distance d:

`d=√((-2-(-6))^2-(1-4)^2)`

`d=√((-2+6))^2-(-3)^2)`

`d=√((4)^2-9)`

`d=√(16-9)`

`d=√(7)`

`d=2.65`
