## anonymous one year ago find the distance between points M(6,16) and Z(-1,14)

1. anonymous

I believe you use the avg rate of change formula for this. That or the distance formula. Is the problem multiple choiced or free response?

2. anonymous

use distance formula

$$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({\color{red}{ 6}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 16}})\quad % (c,d) &({\color{red}{ -1}}\quad ,&{\color{blue}{ 14}}) \end{array}\qquad % distance value d = \sqrt{({\color{red}{ x_2}}-{\color{red}{ x_1}})^2 + ({\color{blue}{ y_2}}-{\color{blue}{ y_1}})^2}$$
