Answer:
Use Distance Formula
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the distance between two points by using the distance formula which by definition is [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1 )^2+(y_2-y_1)^2 }[/tex]
For example take question 3. Plug your point values in to find the distance
Point 1 is (-1, 8)
Point 2 is (-3, -2)
You equation would look like:
[tex]\sqrt{(-3-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2}[/tex]
This simplifies to [tex]\sqrt{(-2)^2+(-10)^2}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{4+100}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{104}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{2(2)(26)}[/tex]
=[tex]2\sqrt{26}[/tex]
That is the distance between the points (-1, 8) and (-3, -2)
