Answer:
The exact distance is √(29) or 29^(1/2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the answer using the distance formula (aka the Pythagorean theorem)
d=√(x1+x2)^2+(y1+y2)^2)
d=√(-1+6)^2+(4+-2)^2), Solve for d:
d= √((25)+(4))
d=√(29)
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{35}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the distance (d) use the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, - 2)
d = [tex]\sqrt{(6+1)^2+(-2-4)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{7^2+(-6)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{49+36}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{85}[/tex] ← exact value
