Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Here (x2, y2) = (2, 3)  and (x1, y1) = (4, -3)

Plugging them gives us

d = √[(2 - 4)² + (3 - (-3))²]

   d = √[(2 - 4)² + (3 + 3)²]
