Question

What’s the distance between (-6,5) and (-1,-7)?

Answer 1

13

Explanation:

First, you gotta find the difference between the two x and y coordinates.

-6 - (-1) = -5 for the x

5 - (-7) = 12 for the y

Then, you use the Pythagorean theorem to find the distance.

`-5^(2) +12^(2) =distance^(2)`

Simplify that

25 + 144 = distance^2

169 = distance^2

After, square both sides and you get distance = 13

Answer 2

The distance between them is 13

Explanation:

I don‘t really know how to explain it. It’s just 13 ( ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
