GEOMETRY If one point is located at (–6, 2) and another point is located at (6, –3), find the distance between the points.

a.
13 units

b.
64 units

c.
145 units

d.
169 units

Respuesta :

Answer:

It should be 13 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the picture shown, the two red dots are the coordinates (-6, 2) and (6, -3). The smaller light blue dots is the distance from one red dot to the other red dot. I counted  17 units between the two and using a ruler, I  estimated 12 units. In conclusion, it should be roughly 13 units. I hope this helps! If this is not the right answer, I would love to recieve some feedback of what I did wrong! Thank you!

The distance between the points is option (a) 13 units

What is Distance?

Distance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are.

What is Coordinate system?

In geometry, a coordinate system is a system that uses one or more numbers, or coordinates, to uniquely determine the position of the points or other geometric elements on a manifold such as Euclidean space.

Given,

The coordinates of the points are (-6,2) and (6,-3)

Distance between the points = [tex]\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]=\sqrt{(6--6)^{2}+(-3-2)^{2} }\\=\sqrt{12^{2}+(-5)^{2} }\\ =\sqrt{144+25} \\=\sqrt{169}[/tex]

= 13 units

Hence, the distance between the two points are option (a) 13 units
