Question

Find the distance between these points.

C(0, 4), T(-6, -3)

Answer 1

Do you know the Distance formula?

Answer 2

x1+x2 over 2 and y1+y2 over 2?

Answer 3

Nope
Distance between two points (x1,y1) & (x2,y2) is \[\Large D= \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}\]

Answer 4

oh....

Answer 5

So what do you get?

Answer 6

So would it be, (0-6)2 + (4-3)2?

Answer 7

(0, 4 ) (-6 ,-3)

\[\sqrt{(-6-0)^2 + (-3-4)^2}\]

Answer 8

so would I multiply -6 twice? this is where I get lost

Answer 9

(-6)^2 = -6 x -6

Answer 10

so it'd be -6 as the outcome? and 49

Answer 11

No what is -6 x -6 ?

Answer 12

36. so it would be 36+49? I did -3-4=-7, -7x-7=49

Answer 13

Yes But DON'T Forget the square root :D

Answer 14

Thanks for the help!

Answer 15

No problem :D
