The coordinates of the point Q are (-10, – 7) and the coordinates of point Rare(2, – 7). What is the distance, in units, between the point Q and point R?

The coordinates of the point Q are 10 7 and the coordinates of point Rare2 7 What is the distance in units between the point Q and point R class=

Respuesta :

The distance between two points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by the formula,

[tex]d=\sqrt[]{(c-a)^2+(d-b)^2}[/tex]

Here a = -10, b=-7, c=2, d = -7

Hence, the distance is given by

[tex]\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(2+10)^2+(-7+7)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{12^2} \\ =12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence the distance is 12.
