I just took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

Answer:

Option b Tyree’s solution is inaccurate. In step 1, he substituted incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

we have

$A(-4,-2)\\B(-7,-7)$

step 1

substitute the values in the formula

$d=\sqrt{(-7-(-2))^{2}+(-7-(-4))^{2}}$

step 2

Simplify

$d=\sqrt{(-7+2)^{2}+(-7+4)^{2}}$

step 3

$d=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-3)^{2}}$

step 4

$d=\sqrt{25+9}$

step 5

$d=\sqrt{34}$

therefore

Tyree’s solution is inaccurate. In step 1, he substituted incorrectly.
