Question

find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14)

Answer 1

I believe you use the avg rate of change formula for this. That or the distance formula. Is the problem multiple choiced or free response?

Answer 2

use distance formula

Answer 3

\(\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({\color{red}{ 6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 16}})\quad
% (c,d)
&({\color{red}{ -1}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 14}})
\end{array}\qquad
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}\)
