Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

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

Since the first point is (0, 7), we can say (x1, y1) = (0, 7)
So ,

Since the second point is (-5, 13), we can also say (x2, y2) = (-5, 13)
So ,

Put this all together to get: , , , and

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

Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (0, 7) and (-5, 13)

Plug in , , , and

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

Answer:

The distance between the two points (0, 7) and (-5, 13) is exactly units

The approximate distance between the two points is about 7.81024967590665 units

So again,

Exact Distance: units

Approximate Distance: units
