Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula


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


Since the first point is (-2, -2), we can say (x1, y1) = (-2, -2)
So ,


Since the second point is (7, 10), we can also say (x2, y2) = (7, 10)
So ,


Put this all together to get: , , , and

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


Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-2, -2) and (7, 10)






Plug in , , , and













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

Answer:


The distance between the two points (-2, -2) and (7, 10) is exactly 15 units
