Question

Find the distance between the point - 3, 2 and 1 - 1​

Answer 1

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the distance between the point - 3, 2 and 1 - 1​

Given data

x1= -3

y1= 2

x2= 1

y2= -1

The expression for the distance between two points is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

subtitute

d=√((1-(-3))²+(-1-(2))²)

d=√((1+3))²+(-1-2))²)

d=√((4)²+(-3))²)

d=√16+9

d=√25

d=5

Hence the distance between the points is 5 units
