To apply the Pythagorean Theorem, we need to find the distance between the two points using their coordinates.
The coordinates of the first point are (-1, 6) and the coordinates of the second point are (5, -2).
We can use the formula for distance between two points in a coordinate plane:
distance = √((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)
Plugging in the coordinates:
distance = √((5-(-1))^2 + (-2-6)^2)
= √((6)^2 + (-8)^2)
= √(36 + 64)
= √(100)
= 10
The length between the two points is 10 units.
Therefore, the correct answer is "10."
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length between (−1, 6) and (5, −2) . Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.(1 point)
