Question

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

Answer 1

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 ??

Answer 2

let me take for a spin real fast like

Answer 3

would it be (7,9)?

Answer 4

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 = ...

Answer 5

so would it be 16 units?

Answer 6

how did u get the "16" ?

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

x1 -x2 = 6- (-1) = 7

y1-y2 =16-14 = 2

\(\Large \sqrt{7^2+2^2} =.... ? \)

Answer 9

53!

Answer 10

yes, \(\sqrt{53}\) :)

Answer 11

thank you so much you are a kind soul sir or mam

Answer 12
