Question

How do you find the distance between (-7,0), (-2,-4)?

Answer 1

`sqrt(41)` units

Explanation:

We have: `(- 7, 0), (- 2, - 4)`

Let's apply the distance formula:

`=> d = sqrt(((- 2) - (- 7))^(2) + ((- 4) - (0))^(2))` units

`=> d = sqrt((5)^(2) + (- 4)^(2))` units

`=> d = sqrt((25 + 16)` units

`=> d = sqrt(41)` units
