What is the distance from (-2,1) to (5,-1) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[d = \sqrt{(\Delta y)^2 +(\Delta x)^2 }\]

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

ok, gimme a sec

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

I dont know how to apply your formula in the equation? is Distance equals squareroot of triangle y^2 or some thing else?\[d=\sqrt{\triangle y}^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) The distance is sqrt( (y2-y1)^2 + (x2-x1)^2)

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

\[d=\sqrt{-2^2+7^2}\] d=squareroot of 53

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

and then thats the answer right?
