Howdy good people can you help me with this question, find the distance between points 6,16 and -1, 14

Question

hartnn · Answer

Distance between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is 
$\huge d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}$
does this help ??

anonymous · Answer

let me take for a spin real fast like

anonymous · Answer

would it be (7,9)?

hartnn · Answer

you're trying to find the 'distance' right ? 
the answer would be a number, not the co-ordinates.

take it step by step,
whats x1 -x2 = 6- (-1) = ...

y1-y2  =16-14 = ...

anonymous · Answer

so would it be 16 units?

hartnn · Answer

how did u get the "16" ?

anonymous · Answer

oh uh seems that i have made a mistake would the numbers come out to 9?

hartnn · Answer

x1 -x2 = 6- (-1) = 7

y1-y2  =16-14 = 2 

$\Large \sqrt{7^2+2^2} =.... ? $

anonymous · Answer

53!

hartnn · Answer
