Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = -4, x2 = -5 y2 = -5
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-5 − (-1))2 + (-5 − (-4))2
d = √(-5 + 1)2 + (-5 + 4)2
d = √(-4)2 + (-1)2
d = √16 + 1
d = √17
Therefore, the distance between the points (-1, -4) and (-5, -5) is equal to √17
Note: As a decimal number, √17 ≈ 4.1231056256177
