Question

What is the distance between `(-14,-19)` and `(6,-8)`?

Answer 1

`~~22.83" to 2 dec. places"`

Explanation:

`"calculate the distance using the "color(blue)"distance formula"`

`•color(white)(x)d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

`"let "(x_1,y_1)=(-14,-19)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(6,-8)`

`d=sqrt((6+14)^2+(-8+19)^2)`

`color(white)(d)=sqrt(400+121)=sqrt521~~22.83`
