Answer:
The distance between points (- 8 , - 2) , ( - 7 , - 2) is 1 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The coordinate are
[tex]x_1[/tex] , [tex]y_1[/tex] = - 8 , - 2
[tex]x_2[/tex] , [tex]y_2[/tex] = - 7 , - 2
Let The distance between the points = d
So, d = [tex]\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^{2} + (y_2 - y_1)^{2} }[/tex]
Or, d = [tex]\sqrt{((-7) - (-8))^{2} + ((-2) - (-2))^{2} }[/tex]
Or, d = [tex]\sqrt{(-7 + 8)^{2} + (- 2 + 2)^{2} }[/tex]
Or, d = [tex]\sqrt{(1)^{2} + (0)^{2} }[/tex]
Or, d = [tex]\sqrt{1 + 0}[/tex]
∴ d = [tex]\sqrt{1}[/tex]
i.e d = 1
So, The distance between the points = d = 1 unit
Hence, The distance between points (- 8 , - 2) , ( - 7 , - 2) is 1 unit Answer
