What is the difference from the point (-6,2) to the point (2,17)?

The distance is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find their difference in the y values and the difference in the x values then find their absolute values.

2-17 = -15

-6 - 2 = -8  

The absolute value of -15 is 15 and the absolute value of  -8 is 8.

Now square them and add them up to find their square root.

15^2 + 8^2 = c^2

225 + 64 = c^2

289= c^2

c=  17

42

step-by-step explanation:

256/6=42
