Find the length of the segment that joins the points (-5,4) and (7,-1)

Sagot :

Answer:

13

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the length using the distance formula

d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 5, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (7, - 1)

d = [tex]\sqrt{(7-(-5))^2+(-1-4)^2}[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{(7+5)^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{12^2+25}[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{144+25}[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{169}[/tex]

   = 13
