Distance between (-1,2) (7,8)

The distance between any two points is

       square root of ( [difference in the 'y's]² + [difference in the 'x's]² )

Difference in the 'y's =  8 - 2  =  6
Difference in the 'x's =  7 - (-1)  =  8

Distance between them =

           square root of  ( 6² + 8² )  =

           square root of  ( 36 + 64 )  =

           square root of  ( 100 )  =  10 .

10

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the distance between the points (-1,2) and (7,8) so we use the distance formula which states that the distance between two points is equal to

.

Our first point, (-1,2) represents (, ) and our second point,

(7,8) represents (, ).

So, plugging the given information into the formula, we have.

Next, we simplify inside the parentheses to get.

Next, 8² is 64 and 6² is 36 so we have or which is 10.

So the distance between the points (-1,2) and (7,8) is 10.

Tbh idk I just want the points for my thing so I can ask a question lol sorry
