Find the distance between the points (-5, 2) and (-6, 10).
You can use the distance formula, but it is not on the formula sheet and is hard to use. It is easier to plot it on the coordinate plane - Use the Desmos graphing calculator to plot the points, drop the right triangle, and use the Pythagorean Theorem.
