Question

What is the distance between P(0, 14) and Q(5, -2)?

Answer 1

Distance Formula is given by:

\[\large Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2- y_1)^2}\]

Answer 2

I did that and got the wrong answer.

Answer 3

Can you use that??

Here :
\[x_2 = 14, x_1 = 0\]

Answer 4

can you please show you work to me I can check where you got wrong..??

Answer 5

x2 is not 14 sorry...

Answer 6

I thought that x2 was 5 and x1 is 0? and y2 was -2 and y1 was 14 so i worked it like this.
(5-0)^2 + (-2 - 14)
5^2 + (-16)^2
25 + 256
281
