I need help with this:Find the distance between the plotted points which are (-4,7) and (-6,1)
The distance formula is: d=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%29
(x1,y1)=(-4,7) and (x2,y2)=(-6,1)
d=sqrt%28%28-6-%28-4%29%29%5E2%2B%281-7%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28-2%29%5E2%2B%28-6%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%284%2B36%29
d=sqrt%2840%29
d=sqrt%284%29%2Asqrt%2810%29
d=2%2Asqrt%2810%29
Happy Calculating!!!!
