Find the distance between the points (-1,-5) and (-10,7). Write your answer as a whole number or a fully simplified radical expression. Do not round.

___ Units

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 10, 7)

d =

   =

    =

    =

    = 15 units

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
