Question

What is the distance between point A (-2 , -1) and point B (3, 2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = √34

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula for distance

d = √(x_2 - x_1)^2 + ( y_2 - y_1)^2

Using what we are provided with

Two points

( -2, -1)(3, 2)

x_1 = -2

y_1 = -1

x_2 = 3

y_2 = 2

Inserting the values

d = √ ( 3 -(-2)^2 + (2-(-1)^2

= √ (3+2)^2 + (2+1)^2

= √ 5^2 + 3^2

= √25 + 9

= √34

= 5.83
