Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = -2, x2 = -7 y2 = 6
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-7 − (-1))2 + (6 − (-2))2
d = √(-7 + 1)2 + (6 + 2)2
d = √(-6)2 + 82
d = √36 + 64
d = √100
d = 10
Therefore, the distance between the points (-1, -2) and (-7, 6) is equal to 10
