Question

Find the distance between (-8,7) and (13,-1)​

Answer 1

22.4722

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to use the distance formula. The distance formula is as follows:

`d = √((x2 - x1)^2+(y2 - y1)^2)`

Now, let's identify what each variable is:

x2 = 13

x1 = -8

y2 = -1

y1 = 7

Next, let's put these into the equation:

`d = √((13 - (-8))^2 + (-1 -7)^2)`

Time to solve the equation:

`d = √((21)^2+(-8)^2) \\d = √(441 + 64) \\d = √(505) \\d = 22.4722`

Therefore, the distance between the points of (-8,7) and (13,1) is 22.4722.

I hope this helps!!
