Question

Find the distance CB for the points C(8, –6) and B(6, 7). ( answer more appreciated, im on e2020)

Answer 1

Distance between 2 points

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

You have your 2 points...so

C(8, –6) (x1 , y1)
and
B(6, 7) (x2 , y2)

Just plug in those points and solve for distance

Answer 2

So in your case

\[\large \sqrt{(6 - 8)^2 + (7 + 6)^2}\]
When simplified down that is
\[\large \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (13)^2}\]

\[\large \sqrt{(4 + 169)}\]

\[\large \sqrt{(173)}\]

would be the distance...that is exact form...if you want the decimal form...just do the square root of 173

Answer 3

No that's what I needed thank you
