Question

Find the exact distance between g (-5,4) and h(2,6)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will be using the distance formula for this problem.

d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2

Step 1: Identify the x2 , x1 , y2 , y1 for the problem.

Consider G(-5, 4) to be (x1 , y1) and H(2, 6) to be (x2 , y2).

Step 2: Plug it into the formula to find the distance between the two points.

d = √(2 - (-5))2 + (6 - 4)2

d = √(7)2 + (2)2

d = √49 + 4

d = √53
