Question

find the distance between the points (-a,a) and (b,-b)

Answer 1

Here is your answer .

the distance between the points(-a,a) and(b,-b) is
square ROOT of (b+a)2+(-b-a)2
=square root of (a+b)2+(a+b)2

here 2=whole square

Answer 2

$\huge \underline \mathfrak {Solution:-}$

We have to find out the distance between the two points (a.b) and (-a,-b).

For finding the distance between two points we can use the given formula.

Distance $= \sqrt{ {(x_1 - x_2)}^{2} + {(y_1 - y_2)}^{2} }$

This formula is used to find out the distance between two points and that's why it is named as distance formula.

According to question,

$x_1 = a \\ \\ x_2 = -a \\ \\ y_1 = b\\ \\ y_2 = -b$

Now,

Distance $= \sqrt{ {(x_1 - x_2)}^{2} + {(y_1 - y_2)}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {(a-(-a))}^{2} + {( b-(-b))}^{2} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {( a+a)}^{2} + { (b+b)}^{2} } \\ \\ = \sqrt{ {(2a)}^{2} + {(2b)}^{2} } \\ \\ = 2\sqrt{ a^{2}+b^{2}} \: units$
