Question

Which expression gives the distance between the points (-3,4 and (6,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

10.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the distance using the distance formula:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

We then substitute (-3,4) as $(x_1,y_1)$ and (6,-2) as $(x_2,y_2)$.

$d=\sqrt{(6--3)^2+(-2-4)^2} \\d=\sqrt{(9)^2+(-6)^2} \\d=\sqrt{81+36}\\d=\sqrt{117}=10.8$
