Question 1092110: Can i get help with finding the distance between (-4, 6) and (3, -7) please on how to brake it down and come up with the answer
Found 2 solutions by Boreal, MathTherapy:Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is the square root of the difference in the y-value squared PLUS the difference in the x-value squared.
The y value difference is -7-6 or 6-(-7), and one is -13 and the other is 13. Since they are being squared, it doesn't matter which direction you go, unlike slope calculations. 13^2=169
For the x is it 3-(-4) or -4-3, and that is 7 or -7 and squared it is 49.
Add 169 and 49 (218) and take the square root of 218, which is 14.76.

Use the distance formula within the coordinate plane. If you're not familiar with it, then look it up and try to find the distance yourself.
It'll be good practice for you.
