Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula


The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)


Since the first point is (-9, 8), we can say (x1, y1) = (-9, 8)
So ,


Since the second point is (-6, 0), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-6, 0)
So ,


Put this all together to get: , , , and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-9, 8) and (-6, 0)

















==========================================================

Answer:


The distance between the two points (-9, 8) and (-6, 0) is exactly units


The approximate distance between the two points is about 8.54400374531753 units



So again,


Exact Distance: units


Approximate Distance: units
