Question

Find the distance between the ordered pairs (1,-6) and (-4,11)

Answer 1

Answer:

d= $\sqrt{314}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is given by the following equation:

$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }$

The solution to the above that we are looking is positive only, in case it comes two solutions.

So:

X1=1

Y1=-6

X2=-4

Y2=11

Performing the operation we have:

d= $\sqrt{314}$
