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%285-0%29%5E2%2B%28-7-5%29%5E2%29\" Plug in \"x%5B1%5D=5\", \"x%5B2%5D=0\", \"y%5B1%5D=-7\", \"y%5B2%5D=5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28%285%29%5E2%2B%28-12%29%5E2%29\" Evaluate \"5-0\" to get 5. Evaluate \"-7-5\" to get -12. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%2825%2B144%29\" Square each value\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%28169%29\" Add\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=13\" 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 (5,-7) and (0,5) is 13 units
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
