Question

what is the distance between point I(-8,2)and point j (4,7)

Answer 1

\[distance formula: \sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2} + (y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]when given points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
so plug in points (-8, 2) and (4 , 7)

Answer 2

so simplify
\[\sqrt{(4+ 8)^{2} + (7-2)^{2}}\]

Answer 3

ok ty so would it be 235 how do I brake that down please

Answer 4

mmm try again? :)
4+8 = 12
7-2 = 5

12^2 = 144
5^2 = 25
144 + 25 = 169
square root of 169 = (answer) :)
