Given Coordinates: x1 = 2 y1 = 4, x2 = -2 y2 = -4
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-2 − 2)2 + (-4 − 4)2
d = √(-4)2 + (-8)2
d = √16 + 64
d = √80
d = √16 * 5
d = √16 * √5
d = 4√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (2, 4) and (-2, -4) is equal to 4√5
Note: As a decimal number, 4√5 ≈ 8.9442719099992
