Question

Find the distance on the x axis which is equidistant from (2,-5) and (-2,9)

Answer 1

Explanation:

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

$\sqrt{( - 2 - 2)^2 + (9 + 5)^2 }$

$\sqrt{( - 4)^2 + (14)^2}$

$\sqrt{16 + 196}$

$\sqrt{212}$

=14.56 cm

Therefore, the distance between two points is 14.56 cm.
