Find the distance between the points (-5, 2) and (-6, 10).
The vertical distance is 12 and the horizontal distance is 11; answer approximately 16.3 units
The vertical distance is 11 and the horizontal distance is 12; answer approximately 16.3 units
The vertical distance is 1 and the horizontal distance is 8; answer approximately 8.1 units
The vertical distance is 8 and the horizontal distance is 1; answer approximately 8.1 units
Using the distance formula, we can calculate the distance between the points (-5, 2) and (-6, 10):
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
Distance = √[(-6 - (-5))^2 + (10 - 2)^2]
Distance = √[(-1)^2 + (8)^2]
Distance = √[1 + 64]
Distance = √65
Distance is approximately 8.1 units.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The vertical distance is 8 and the horizontal distance is 1; answer approximately 8.1 units
