Question

What is the distance between (-8,-2) and (6,-1)

Answer 1

`d=14.0357`

Explanation:

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

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

`d=√((6-(-8))^2+(-1-(-2))^2)`

`d=√((6+8)^2+(-1+2)^2)`

`d=√((14)^2+(1)^2)`

`d=√(196+1)`

`d=√(197)`

`d=14.0357`
