Distance between (-4,-1) and (-8,-7)




Here we will show you how to find the distance between the points (-4,-1) and (-8,-7) using a formula. In other words, you have the points (-4,-1) and (-8,-7) on a two-dimensional graph with an x-axis and a y-axis, and you want to find the distance between the two points.


We start by labeling and coloring the points (-4,-1) and (-8,-7) so it is easy to follow along:

(-4,-1) and (-8,-7) = (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)

x₁ = -4
y₁ = -1
x₂ = -8
y₂ = -7

Next, we will show you the formula you can use to calculate the distance between two points. The formula to calculate the distance (d) between two points, such as (-4,-1) and (-8,-7), is as follows:

d = √(x₁ - x₂)² + (y₁ - y₂

The next step is to enter our points into the formula. When we enter (-4,-1) and (-8,-7) into the formula, we get this:

d = √((-4) - (-8))² + ((-1) - (-7)

All we need to do now is solve the equation above. Here is the math and the answer to the distance (d) between the points (-4,-1) and (-8,-7):

d = √((-4) - (-8))² + ((-1) - (-7))²

d = √(4)² + (6)²

d = √16 + 36

d = √52

d ≈ 7.2111
