Question

What is the distance between the points A(-3,5) and B(8,-4)

Answer 1

Hey!

------------------------------------------

Formula: $\sqrt{(x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)^{2} }$

------------------------------------------

Solution:

$= \sqrt{(8 - (-3)) + (-4 - (-3))^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{(11) + (-1)^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{10^{2} }$

$= \sqrt{100}$

$= 10$

------------------------------------------

Answer:

The distance between the points is 10 units.
