Answer:
25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
to find out the distance between these two points you will need to use the distance formula:
[tex]\sqrt{(x1 - x2)^{2}+(y1 - y2)^{2} }[/tex]
the x1, x2, y1 and y2 refer to the numbers in the coordinates.
(12,5) (-12, -2)
the x1 refers to the x coordinate in the first bracket. the x2 refers to the x coordinate in the second bracket, etc.
[tex]\sqrt{(12 - - 12)^{2}+(5 - -2)^{2} }[/tex]
double negatives equal positives
put this equation into your calculator:
[tex]\sqrt{(12 + 12)^{2} + (5 + 2)^{2} }[/tex] = 25 units
I hope this was helpful :-)
