Question

Find the distance between the points (-7,5) and (6,5).

Answer 1

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7 , 5) = (x1 , y1)

(6 , 5) = (x2 , y2)

distance = $\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2}$

=$\sqrt{{6 - (-7)}^2 + (5 - 5)^2}$

=$\sqrt{(6 + 7)^2 + (0)^2}$

=$\sqrt{(13)^2 + 0}$

=$\sqrt{169}$

= 13 units

Answer 2

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ where two given points are $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Plug in the given points (-7,5) and (6,5)

$d=\sqrt{(6-(-7))^2+(5-5)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(6+7)^2+(5-5)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(0)^2}\\d=\sqrt{(13)^2}\\d=13$

Therefore, the distance between the two points is 13 units.

I hope this helps!
