Given the points:
(-6, 4) and (-8, 6)
x1 = -6
x2 = -8
y1= 4
y2 =6
Find the distance.
The formula for the distance between two points.
d=√((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the distance between two points.
d=√((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)
d=√((-8- (-6))² + (6 - 4)²)
d=√((-8+ 6))² + (2)²)
d=√((-2)² + (2)²)
d=√(4 + 4)
d=√8
d = 2.83
d = 2.83
Final answer:
d = 2.83
