Question

What is the distance between the points in the image below?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of the end points of the given segment are $(- 5, 3)=(x_1, y_1) \: \& \:(3, 3)=(x_2,\: y_2)$

By distance formula:

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^{2} + (y_1 - y_2)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{( - 5 - 3)^{2} + (3 - 3)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{( - 8)^{2} + (0)^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{64 + 0 } \\ = \sqrt{64 } \\ = 8 \: units$
