Question

what is the distance between (-6,-2)and(2,4) i picked 2square7

Answer 1

if you can recall the pythag thrm; this is the same thing

they give you a distance for 2 legs; and call them x and y

find the hypotenuse or distance with the pythag thrm

Answer 2

our first step should be to get the distance between xs and ys by subtracting one point from the other like this:

(-6,-2)
-( 2, 4)
-------
-8,-6 ; so one leg = 8 and the other leg = 6 ; we ignore the - sign since direction is unimportant

Answer 3

(8^2) + (6^2) = distance^2

64 + 36 = d^2

100 = d^2 ; what would our answer be for d?
