Given Coordinates: x1 = -2 y1 = -4, x2 = 1 y2 = 0
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(1 − (-2))2 + (0 − (-4))2
d = √(1 + 2)2 + (0 + 4)2
d = √32 + 42
d = √9 + 16
d = √25
d = 5
Therefore, the distance between the points (-2, -4) and (1, 0) is equal to 5
