Question

Find the distance between these points.

W(-6, -8), X(6, 8)

Answer 1

use the distance formula.

or draw some triangles in the coordinate plane to see what it looks like.

Answer 2

theres also a little trick, the distance from each point to the origin is the same. so if you find the distance from the origin to either one, just double it.

Answer 3

6^2+8^2=10^2

so the distance to the origin 0,0 of either one is 10. which means the distance from each other is 20.
