Question

Find the distance between points at (6,11) and (-2,-4).

Answer 1

The distance between the points is 17

Answer 2

Answer: 17

Explanation:

To find teh distance, you need to use the distance formula
`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`. Since we are given the two points, We can go ahead and plug them in and solve.

`d=√((-2-6)^2+(-4-11)^2)` [subtract]

`d=√((-8)^2+(-15)^2)` [exponent]

`d=√(64+225)` [add]

`d=√(289)` [square root]

`d=17`

Now, we know the distance between the points is 17.
