distance between two points, d, is given by
[tex]d= \sqrt{ ( x_{2} - x_{1}) ^{2} + (y_{2} - y_{1}) ^{2} }
[/tex]
where: (x1, y1) = (-1, 0) and (x2, y2) = (8, 6)
[tex]d=
\sqrt{ ( 8 - (-1)) ^{2} + (6 - 0) ^{2} } \\ d= \sqrt{ (9)^{2} + 6^{2} }
\\ d= \sqrt{81+36} \\ d= \sqrt{117} \\ d=10.8 \ units[/tex]
