Find the distance between the points (
–
4,
–
9) and (8,4).
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula. The distance formula is given as:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, our points are (-4, -9) and (8, 4), so we can plug in the coordinates into the formula:
d = √((8 - -4)^2 + (4 - -9)^2)
d = √((12)^2 + (13)^2)
d = √(144 + 169)
d = √313
Therefore, the distance between the points (-4, -9) and (8, 4) is √313.
