Answer: The distance is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find their difference in the y values and the difference in the x values then find their absolute values.
2-17 = -15
-6 - 2 = -8
The absolute value of -15 is 15 and the absolute value of -8 is 8.
Now square them and add them up to find their square root.
15^2 + 8^2 = c^2
225 + 64 = c^2
289= c^2
c= 17
