Question

Find the distance between the following two points: *
(0,0) and (-4,-4)

Answer 1

`d = 4√(2)`

Explanation:

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

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

`d = √((-4-0)^2+(-4-0)^2)`

`d = √((-4)^2+(-4)^2)`

`d = √(16+16)`

`d = √(32)`

`d = 4√(2)`
