Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. For the points (1, -2) and (-1, -6), this becomes $\sqrt{(-1 - 1)^2 + (-6 + 2)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$.
