Question

Find the distance between the points (-4, -2) and (5, 10). If necessary, round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Do you know the distance formula for two points (x1,y1) and (x2, y2) ?

Answer 2

Otherwise, if we graph the two points and create a triangle using the vertical rise and the horizontal run between the points, we can also use Pythagorean theorem. It accomplishes the same thing as distance formula, but takes a bit more to set up.
