Find the difference between the pair of points. Express your answer in simplest form. (6,-6) and (10,-4)
---------------------------
I'll assume you mean the distance.
d+=+sqrt%28dy%5E2+%2B+dx%5E2%29+=+sqrt%282%5E2+%2B+4%5E2%29
dy = y2-y1
dx = x2-x1
(Since they're squared, the order does not matter)
d+=+sqrt%2820%29
d+=+2sqrt%285%29%29
d =~ 4.472
