Find the distance between the points
(-8,-6) and (4, 10)

d=20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points we use the distance formula

d = √(x2 - x1)²+(y2 - y1)²

The given points are (x1= -8, y1 = -6) and (x2 = 4, y2 = 10).

Substitute the given points into the distance formula.

d = √(4 + 8)²+(10 +6)²

d = √144+252

d= √400

d = 20

true

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.
