Question

Point E is located at (-2, 2) and point F is located at (4-6). What is the distance between

points E and F?
052
028
10
20

Answer 1

it is 10 that is the correct answer (i took the quiz)

Answer 2

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given endpoints:

E (-2,2) and F(4, -6)

To find the distance between two points;

Use the expression below;

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

x₁ = -2,

x₂ = 4

y₁ = 2

y₂ = -6

Insert the parameters and solve;

D =
`\sqrt{(-6 - 2 )^(2) + (4 -+ 2)^(2) }`

D =
`√(64+ 36 )` = 10
