Find the distance between the points: (–6, 7) and (–1, –5). in your final answer, include the formula and calculations that you used to find the distance.

The distance between the points (-6,7) and (-1,-5) is 13 units.

Solution:

P1=(-6,7)=(x1,y1)→x1=-6, y1=7

P2=(-1,-5)=(x2,y2)→x2=-1,y2=-5

Distance between points P1 and P2: d=?

d=sqrt [ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 ]

Replacing the knwon values:

d=sqrt [ (-1-(-6))^2 + (-5-7)^2 ]

d=sqrt [ (-1+6)^2 + (-12)^2 ]

d=sqrt [ (5)^2 + 144 ]

d=sqrt [ 25 + 144 ]

d=sqrt [ 169 ]

d=13

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
