Find the distance between p and q. P(-6,4) and q(2,-2)
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
In this case, P(-6,4) is our first point and Q(2,-2) is our second point. Plugging in the coordinates:
Distance = √((2 - (-6))^2 + (-2 - 4)^2)
Distance = √((8)^2 + (-6)^2)
Distance = √(64 + 36)
Distance = √100
Distance = 10
Therefore, the distance between points P(-6,4) and Q(2,-2) is 10 units.
