Question

On a coordinate plane, Point C is at (-3,5) and Point D is at (4,9). What is the distance from point C to point D?

Answer 1

Answer:

5$\sqrt[\\]{3}$ or about 8.66

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance of any line, you have to use distance formula.

$\sqrt{(y-y_{1} )^{2} + (x-x_{1} )^{2}$

So, we insert our points:

$\sqrt{(5-9 )^{2} + (-3-4 )^{2}$

Then you solve, and should end up with $\sqrt{75}$. Either you can simplify it for an exact number, or you can round. It depends on what the directions ask for.
