Question

The points A(-3,5) and B(1, -2) are located in a coordinate plane.

Answer 1

Answer:

8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance d use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

AB = $\sqrt{(1+3)^2+(-2-5)^2}$

     = $\sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2}$

     = $\sqrt{16+49}$

     = $\sqrt{65}$ ≈ 8.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
