Question

what is the distance from the pizza (-6,-5) to the bank (7,-5)

Answer 1

To find the distance between the two points, you can use the distance formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

In this case, the coordinates of the pizza are \((-6, -5)\) and the coordinates of the bank are \((7, -5)\).

Let's define:
- \( (x_1, y_1) = (-6, -5) \)
- \( (x_2, y_2) = (7, -5) \)

Now plug the values into the distance formula:

\[
d = \sqrt{(7 - (-6))^2 + (-5 - (-5))^2}
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
d = \sqrt{(7 + 6)^2 + (0)^2}
\]
\[
d = \sqrt{13^2 + 0} = \sqrt{169} = 13
\]

Therefore, the distance from the pizza to the bank is **13 units**.
