Question

find the distance between (-3,7)(3,-2). simplify the radical answer if possible.
can someone show me the steps on doing this?

Answer 1

distance is \[\huge \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\]
so if you substitute you get...
\[\huge \implies \sqrt{[3 - (-3) ]^2 + (-2 - 7)^2}\]
does that help?

Answer 2

yes that helps a lot. thank you
