Question

find the distance between two points a(_6'7)and b(_1'_5)

Answer 1

Hi,

Here is your answer,

Given, A(-6,7) and B(-1,-5)

Using Distance formula= √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

              = √(-1-(-6)² + (-5-(7)²

              = √(-1 + 6)² + (-5 - 7)²

              = √(5)² + (12)²

               = √(25 + 144)

              = √169

               = 13 units



Hope it helps you !

Answer 2

We know that Distance between 2 points is:

(x1,y1) = (-6,7)

(x2,y2) = (-1,-5)


$d = \sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

          = $\sqrt{(-1 - (-6)^2 + (-5 - (7)^2}$

          $= \sqrt{(-1 + 6)^2 + (- 5 - 7)^2}$

          $= \sqrt{(5)^2 + (12)^2}$

               $\sqrt{169}$

             = 13.


Hope this helps!
