Given Coordinates: x1 = 3 y1 = 6, x2 = -1 y2 = 4
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-1 − 3)2 + (4 − 6)2
d = √(-4)2 + (-2)2
d = √16 + 4
d = √20
d = √4 * 5
d = √4 * √5
d = 2√5
Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 6) and (-1, 4) is equal to 2√5
Note: As a decimal number, 2√5 ≈ 4.4721359549996
