Question

Find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form. I need helpp ASAP pleasee

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=2\sqrt{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance Formula: $d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:

$d=\sqrt{(-9-(-7))^2+(-8-0)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-9+7)^2+(-8)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(-2)^2+64}$

$d=\sqrt{4+64}$

$d=\sqrt{68}$

$d=2\sqrt{17}$
