Question

Find
the
distance between the points (-4,0) and
(2,0)

​

Answer 1

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

can be visualized in graph

Answer 2

Answer:

let

$p = ( - 4 \: \: 0) \\ q = (2 \: \: 0) \\ = > pq = \sqrt{ ( {x1 - x2)}^{2} \: + {(y1 - y2)}^{2} } \\ = > pq = \sqrt{ {( - 4 - 2)}^{2} \: + {(0 - 0)}^{2} } \\ = > pq = \sqrt{ {( - 6)}^{2} } \\ = > pq = \sqrt{36} \\ = > pq = + 6 \: .\: - 6 \\ hence \: distance \: can \: not \: be \: negative \\ = > pq = 6 \: units$

this is your answer mate
