Find the distance from point L to point M, if the point L has coordinates (-10,-9) and the point M has coordinates (-2,6).

17units

Explanation:

Given parameters:

  Coordinates of the endpoints  = L (-10, -9)  and M(-2, 6)

Unknown:

The distance between point L and M = ?

Solution:

To find the distance between two points, we use the expression below;

   D =

x₁  = -10

y₁  = -9

x₂  = -2

y₂  = 6

Insert the parameters and solve;

    D = =

  D =  17units

The distance between the two points is 17units

just took the test the answer is b.

these include the fossil fuels, oil, natural gas, and coal and nuclear energy. hope this ! ^.^
