  • Distance Formula: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-6, -5)

Point (2, 0)

Step 2: Find distance d

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d

  1. Substitute [DF]:                    [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(2+6)^2+(0+5)^2}[/tex]
  2. Add:                                      [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(8)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]
  3. Exponents:                           [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{64+25}[/tex]
  4. Add:                                      [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{89}[/tex]
