Question

Find the distance between the points (0,-2) and (-3,-6)

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distance between (0, -2) and (-3, -6)

$= \sqrt{{[ - 2 - ( - 6)]}^{2} + {[0 - ( - 3)]}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {( - 2 + 6)}^{2} + (0 + 3)^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{ {4}^{2} + {3}^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{25}$

= 5 units
