Sagot :

where are the points below? i cant do anything if there isnt numbers or anything to work with

Since you didn’t give any points I’ll just give an example, and hope you answer using it

With a set of points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) you can find the distance by d = [ (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 ]1/2.

Let (x1, y1) be (-4, 5) and (x2, y2) be (-1, -1)

d = [ (-1 - -4)2 + (-1 - 5)2 ]1/2 = [ (3)2 + (-6)2 ]1/2 = [ 9 + 36 ]1/2 = [ 45 ]1/2 = 3*[5]1/2 = 6.7
