Question

Find the distance between the two points (-4, -5) and (1, -2).

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

d = $\sqrt{(1+4)^2+(-2+5)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{5^2+3^2}$

  = $\sqrt{25+9}$

  = $\sqrt{34}$ → B
