You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Start with the given distance formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29\"$ where

is the first point

and

is the second point

\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%28%28-4-2%29%5E2%2B%282--6%29%5E2%29\"$ Plug in $\"x%5B1%5D=-4\"$ , $\"x%5B2%5D=2\"$ , $\"y%5B1%5D=2\"$ , $\"y%5B2%5D=-6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%28%28-6%29%5E2%2B%288%29%5E2%29\"$ Evaluate $\"-4-2\"$ to get -6. Evaluate $\"2--6\"$ to get 8. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%2836%2B64%29\"$ Square each value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=sqrt%28100%29\"$ Add\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"d=10\"$ Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the distance between (-4,2) and (2,-6) is 10 units \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
