Find the distance between p(-6,4) and q(2,-2)
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula.
The distance formula is:
√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case:
x1 = -6, y1 = 4
x2 = 2, y2 = -2
Plugging the values into the formula:
√((2 - (-6))^2 + (-2 - 4)^2)
√((2 + 6)^2 + (-2 - 4)^2)
√(8^2 + (-6)^2)
√(64 + 36)
√100
10
So, the distance between points P(-6,4) and Q(2,-2) is 10 units.
