Answer:
The distance betweem the two points is about 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}[/tex]
According to the problem: [tex]x_{2}=8[/tex], [tex]x_{1} =1[/tex], [tex]y_{2} =-5[/tex], and [tex]y_{1} =7[/tex]
Substitute these numbers into the problem to get [tex]d=\sqrt{(8-1)^{2}+(-5-7)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex](8-1)^2=(7)^2=49[/tex]
[tex](-5-7)^2=(-12)^2=144[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{49+144}=\sqrt{193} =13.8923349894[/tex]
You can round this number to approximately 14.
