Answer:
distance between two points is

Step-by-step explanation:
the distance d(P1, P2) between the points P1 and P2
Use distance formula

P1 = (-5,3) is (x1,y1) P2 = (2,4) is (x2,y2)
Plug in the values in the distance formula

C.........................
First, multiply 5 • x, which is 5x. Then, multiply 5 • 1, which is 5. Now you have the equation 5x + 5 = -20. Now, subtract 5 from +5 and do the same to the -20, which gets you -25. Now divide -25 by 5, which is -5. Therefor, x= -5. Check by multiplying -5 • 5, which is -25. Then add -25 + 5, which is 20 and you now know your answer is correct.
Final Answer: x = -5
