Question

P1=(-1,3) and P2=(5,-1)

Find the distance from p1 to P2

Answer 1

7.21

Explanation:

Given that:

P1=(-1,3) and P2=(5,-1)

Distance between two points :

d = Sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

x1 = - 1 ; y1 = 3

x2 = 5 ; y2 = - 1

d = Sqrt[(5 - (-1))² + ((-1) - 3)²]

d = Sqrt[(5 + 1)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = sqrt[(6)^2 + (-4)^2]

d = sqrt(36 + 16)

d = sqrt(52)

d = 7.21
