point e is located at (-2,2) and point f is located at (4,-6) what is the distance between points e and f

1 answer

Using the distance formula:
distance = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Plugging in the given coordinates:
distance = sqrt((4-(-2))^2 + (-6-2)^2)
distance = sqrt(6^2 + (-8)^2)
distance = sqrt(36 + 64)
distance = sqrt(100)
distance = 10

Therefore, the distance between points e and f is 10 units.
