Find the distance between each pair coordinates. select the correct answer. (-8, -8), (4, 8)

ANSWER

20 units.

EXPLANATION

We want to find the distance between (-8,-8) and (4,8).

We use the distance formula:

We substitute the points into the formula to get:

We simplify to get;

The distance between the two points is 20 units.

Distance = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

Distance formula

Length of a line segment with end points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by,

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

To find the distance between give 2 points

Here (x1, y1) = (-8, -8)  and (x2, y2) = (4, 8)

Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

 = √[(4 - -8)² + (8 - -8)²]

 = √[(4 + 8)² + (8 + 8)²]

 = √[12² + 16²] =  √[144 + 256)

  =  √400 = 20

Therefore distance = 20 units
