Given Coordinates: x1 = -1 y1 = 6, x2 = 5 y2 = -2
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(5 − (-1))2 + (-2 − 6)2
d = √(5 + 1)2 + (-2 − 6)2
d = √62 + (-8)2
d = √36 + 64
d = √100
d = 10
Therefore, the distance between the points (-1, 6) and (5, -2) is equal to 10
