Question

Find the distance between the points (-8/5, 2) and (2/5, 2).

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ($\frac{-8}{5}, \: 2$)

B $(\frac{2}{5}, \: 2)$

$distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{(\frac{2}{5} + \frac{8}{5})^2 + (2 - 2)^2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{(\frac{10}{2})^2 + 0^2}\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{5^2} = 5\:units$
