Question

Find the distance between the points (-4,15) and (8,-1). If necessary, round you answer to tow decimal places.

A) 10.58 units
B) 14 units
C) 20 units
D) 5.29 units

Answer 1

\[\Large \sqrt{[8 - (-4)]^2 + [-1 - 15]^2}\]
\[\Large \sqrt{12^2 + (-16)^2}\]
\[\Large \sqrt{144 + 256}\]
\[\Large \sqrt{400}\]
do you get it?

Answer 2

so would it be 20?

Answer 3

i used the distance formula \[\Large distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\]
and yes 20

Answer 4

Thank you
