Question

40 points! Find the distance UV between the points U (2,-2) and V (-5, -3). Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer 1

• U(2,-2)
• V(-5,-3)

$\\ \sf\longmapsto UV=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto UV=\sqrt{(-5-2)^2+(-3+2)^2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto UV=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(-1)^2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto UV=\sqrt{49+1}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto UV=50$
