### Instruction: Find the distance between the points (0,15) and (8,0).### Response: I know that the distance between two points in the coordinate plane can be found using the distance formula, which is based on the Pythagorean theorem.
The distance formula says that the distance d between the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2), where sqrt means square root.
So I can plug in the given coordinates into the formula and simplify.
