Question

Find the distance between the given points: (-1,4) (7,0). Please show the work

Answer 1

Distance equation
\[d=\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]
You can pick either point to be point 1 and the other one will be point two.

Answer 2

I understand the formula and get SQUARE ROOT 48 and the online homework rejects that answer

Answer 3

i don't know how you got 48

Answer 4

\[(x _{1},y _{1})=(7,0) \]

Answer 5

\[(x _{2},y _{2})=(-1,4)\]

Answer 6

\[d=\sqrt{(-1-7)^{2}+(4-0)^{2}}\]
\[d=\sqrt{(-8)^{2}+4^{2}}=\sqrt{64+16}\]
