Question
Find distance between points P(– 5, – 7) and Q(0, 3).
By distance formula,
PQ = `sqrt(square + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
= `sqrt(square + square)`
= `sqrt(square + square)`
= `sqrt(square + square)`
= `sqrt(125)`
= `5sqrt(5)`

Solution
By distance formula,
PQ = `sqrt(bb((x^2 - x_1)^2) + (y_2 - y_1)^2`
= `sqrt(bb(0 - (-5)^2) + bb(3 - (-7)^2))`
= `sqrt(bb((5)^2) + bb((10)^2))`
= `sqrt(bb25 + bb100)`
= `sqrt(125)`
= `5sqrt(5)`
