We will find distance between points by distance formula-

[tex]\red{\underline{\boxed{\sf{Distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}}}}}[/tex]

Here-

  • [tex]\sf x_2 = 6[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf x_1 = -8[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf y_2 = 4[/tex]
  • [tex]\sf y_1 = 7[/tex]

Putting Values:-

[tex]\begin{gathered}\\\longrightarrow\quad \sf AB = \sqrt{(6 - (-8)) ^{2} + (4-7) ^{2} } \\\end{gathered} [/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered}\\\longrightarrow\quad \sf \sqrt{(6+8)^2 + (-3)^2} \\\end{gathered} [/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered}\\\longrightarrow\quad \sf \sqrt{14^2+ (-3)^2 } \\\end{gathered} [/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered}\\\longrightarrow\quad \sf \sqrt{196+ 9 } \\\end{gathered} [/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered}\\\longrightarrow\quad \sf \sqrt{205} \\\end{gathered} [/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow \sf length \:of \: the \: line \:segment \:whose \: \: [/tex]

[tex]\sf endpoints \;are \: (-8,7) \:and \:(6,4) \:is \: \sqrt{205} \;units [/tex]
