Question

Please help What is the distance between points (5, 2) and(-3,-4) on the coordinate plane? *

Answer 1

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance d using the distance formula

d = $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2 }$

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 3, - 4)

d = $\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-4-2)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-6)^2}$

  = $\sqrt{64+36}$

   = $\sqrt{100}$

    = 10
