Use Distance Formula: Use the distance formula to find the distance between two points in a plane. The distance formula is given by:d=(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the two points.
Substitute Given Points: Substitute the given points (−2,7) and (−11,10) into the distance formula. Let (−2,7) be (x1,y1) and (−11,10) be (x2,y2). Then we have:d=((−11)−(−2))2+((10)−(7))2
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression inside the square root.d=(−11+2)2+(10−7)2d=(−9)2+(3)2d=81+9
Find Distance: Add the values inside the square root and then take the square root to find the distance.d=90d=310 (since 90=9×10 and 9=3)
