Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

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

Since the first point is (-2, -10), we can say (x1, y1) = (-2, -10)
So ,

Since the second point is (6, -1), we can also say (x2, y2) = (6, -1)
So ,

Put this all together to get: , , , and

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

Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-2, -10) and (6, -1)

Plug in , , , and

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

Answer:

The distance between the two points (-2, -10) and (6, -1) is exactly units

The approximate distance between the two points is about 12.0415945787923 units

So again,

Exact Distance: units

Approximate Distance: units
