Question

select the correct answer. the endpoints of WX are W(-5,-1) and X(2,6) what is the length of WX

Answer 1

Answer:

$d=7\sqrt{2}\text{ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between two points is represented by the following equation;

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Therefore, if the endpoints of WX are (-5,-1) and X(2,6):

$\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt{(2+5)^2+(6+1)^2} \\ d=7\sqrt{2} \end{gathered}$
