Use the distance formula to find the distance between the pair of points.
-$( 6,7 )$ and $( - 3 , - 7 )$
A) $\sqrt { 115 }$
B) 126
C) $\sqrt { 277 }$
D) $- 5$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance formula is $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Substituting the given points, $\sqrt{(-3 - 6)^2 + (-7 - 7)^2} = \sqrt{(-9)^2 + (-14)^2} = \sqrt{81 + 196} = \sqrt{277}$.
