The correct answer is:
- The vertical distance is 8 and the horizontal distance is 1; So, the distance between the points (-5, 2) and (-6, 10) is approximately 8.1 units.
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.
