Given Coordinates: x1 = 6 y1 = 7, x2 = 2 y2 = 4
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(2 − 6)2 + (4 − 7)2
d = √(-4)2 + (-3)2
d = √16 + 9
d = √25
d = 5
Therefore, the distance between the points (6, 7) and (2, 4) is equal to 5
