To find the distance between two points, (-4, 5) and (7, 18), on a coordinate plane, you can use the distance formula. The distance formula is:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]
Now, substitute the coordinates of the two points into the formula:
x1 = -4, y1 = 5
x2 = 7, y2 = 18
Substitute these values into the formula and calculate the distance:
Distance = √[(7 - (-4))² + (18 - 5)²]
Distance = √[(7 + 4)² + (18 - 5)²]
Distance = √[11² + 13²]
Distance = √(121 + 169)
Distance = √290
Distance ≈ 17.03
Therefore, the distance between the points (-4, 5) and (7, 18) is approximately 17.03 units.
