like pythagorean theorem
Distance between ponints (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
D=[tex] \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2} [/tex]
points are (-4,3) and (6,1)
D=[tex] \sqrt{(6-(-4))^2+(1-3)^2} [/tex]
D=[tex] \sqrt{(6+4)^2+(-2)^2} [/tex]
D=[tex] \sqrt{(10)^2+4} [/tex]
D=[tex] \sqrt{100+4} [/tex]
D=[tex] \sqrt{104} [/tex]
D=2√26
the distance is 2√26
