Find the distance between the points (-1, 5) and (-8, 3).
Solution:
The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the relationship:
Distance between the two points =√[(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2]
=√[(-8-(-1))2 +(3-5)2]
= √[(-7)2 +(-2)2]
= √[49+4]
= √53
Distance = √53
Find the distance between the points (-1, 5) and (-8, 3).
Summary:
The distance between the points (-1, 5) and (-8, -3) is √53.
