The distances between the given pairs of points are:
- (-8, -2) and (6, -1); d = 14.04
- (-4, 5) and (4,0); d = 9.85
How to find the distance between two points?
The distance between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by:
d = √( (x₁ - x₂)^2 - (y₁ - y₂)^2)
1) The first pair of points is (-8, -2) and (6, -1), using the above formula we can see that the distance is:
d = √( (-8 - 6)^2 - (-2 +1)^2) = 14.04
2) The second pair is (-4, 5) and (4,0), and using the distance formula, we get:
d = √( (-4 - 5)^2 - (4 - 0)^2) = 9.85
