Basic Math Examples

$(- 7, - 3)$ ,

$(2, 5)$

Step 1

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

$Distance = \sqrt{{(x_{2} - x_{1})}^{2} + {(y_{2} - y_{1})}^{2}}$

Step 2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

$\sqrt{{(2 - (- 7))}^{2} + {(5 - (- 3))}^{2}}$

Step 3

Step 3.1

Multiply

$- 1$ by

$- 7$ .

$\sqrt{{(2 + 7)}^{2} + {(5 - (- 3))}^{2}}$

Step 3.2

Add

$2$ and

$7$ .

$\sqrt{9^{2} + {(5 - (- 3))}^{2}}$

Step 3.3

Raise

$9$ to the power of

$2$ .

$\sqrt{81 + {(5 - (- 3))}^{2}}$

Step 3.4

Multiply

$- 1$ by

$- 3$ .

$\sqrt{81 + {(5 + 3)}^{2}}$

Step 3.5

Add

$5$ and

$3$ .

$\sqrt{81 + 8^{2}}$

Step 3.6

Raise

$8$ to the power of

$2$ .

$\sqrt{81 + 64}$

Step 3.7

Add

$81$ and

$64$ .

$\sqrt{145}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:
