Question

Find the distance between the points (2, -5) and (-6, -11)

Answer 1

Explanation:

(2, -5) ; (-6 , -11)

Distance =
`\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}`

`=\sqrt{(-6-2)^(2)+(-11-[-5])^(2)}\\\\=\sqrt{(-6-2)^(2)+(-11+5)^(2)}\\\\=\sqrt{(-8)^(2)+(-6)^(2)}\\\\=√(64+36)\\\\=√(100)\\\\=10`
