distance from (-40,0) and (9,0)

Question

find the distance between (0,9) and (-40,0). Express your answer in simplest form.

 

Answer 1

Distance between the poins say (x1,y1) = (-40,0)

(x2,y2) = (9,0)

Distance between the two points = √[(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2]

= √ [(9+40)^2+(0-0)^2]

= √(49)^2

= 49

Answer 2

The two points are (0, 9) and (-40, 0).

The distance between two points (0, 9) and (-40, 0) is 41 units.
