Question

Find the distance between M(-2,3) and N(8,2)

Answer 1

`d=√(101)`

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=√((8-(-2))^2+(2-3)^2)`

`d=√((8+2)^2+(-1)^2)`

`d=√((10)^2+1)`

`d=√(100+1)`

`d=√(101)`
