Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

( x1, y1) =A(6,-2)

(x2, y2) =B(-2,4)

Using distance formula,

AB ^2 = (x2-x1) ^2 +(y2-y1) ^2

=(-2-6)^2 +(4+2)^2

=64+36

=100

Therefore, AB=10 units

Answer:


d = 10

Explanation:


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 = √((-2-6)^2+(4-(-2))^2)


d = √((-8)^2+(4+2)^2)


d = √(64+(6)^2)


d = √(64+36)


d = √(100)


d = 10
