Question

how to find the distance between points:
(-3,2) and (3,-6)

Answer 1

You need to use this equation: \[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]

Answer 2

woah

Answer 3

Find "distance" between x's and y's then use them as sides of a right triangle

from -3 to 3 is 6 "distance" and from 2 to -6 is 8 "distance"

6 squared plus 8 squared is the "distance" squared.
36 + 64 = c squared, 100 is c squared, so c is 10

Answer 4

Where (x1, y1) is your first point, and (x2, y2) is your second point.

Answer 5

i got 100 inside the division bar now what?

Answer 6

Its a square root - square root of 100 is 10.

Answer 7
