Question

Find the distance between the points given. (-3, 2) and (9, -3) √(61) √(37)

Answer 1

Answer:

d=13.

Step-by-step explanation:

d=$\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} ) ^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1} ) ^{2}}$

From question statement, $x_{1} =-3$   ,$x_{2} =9$

$y_{1} =2$  ,$y_{2} =-3$

put above values in the distance formula,we obtain

d=$\sqrt{(9-(-3))^{2}+(-3-2)^{2}}$

d=$\sqrt{(12)^{2}+(-5)^{2}}$

d=$\sqrt{144+25}$

d=$\sqrt{169}$

d=13
