Distance between points (-12, -10) and (16, -20)

Given Coordinates: x₁ = -12  y₁ = -10,  x₂ = 16  y₂ = -20
Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(16 − (-12))² + (-20 − (-10))²
d = √(16 + 12)² + (-20 + 10)²
d = √28² + (-10)²
d = √784 + 100
d = √884
d = √4 * 221
d = √4 * √221
d = 2√221
Therefore, the distance between the points (-12, -10) and (16, -20) is equal to 2√221
Note: As a decimal number, 2√221 ≈ 29.732137494637
