Question

Calculate the distance between the points N=(-2, 4) and H=(6, -1) in the coordinate plane. Give an exact answer (not a decimal approximation).​

Answer 1

Answer:

  √89

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is good for this.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = ((6 -(-2))^2 +(-1-4)^2) = √(64 +25)

  d = √89

The distance between the point is √89 units.
