Answer 1

Answer:

$13\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

One is asked to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. The easiest way to do so is to use the distance formula, this formula is the following:

$D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2$

Where ($(x_1,y_1)$) and ($(x_2,y_2)$) are the points which one needs to find the distance between. In this case, these points are as follows:

$k\ (-3,5)$

$j\ (-8, -7)$

Substitute these points into the formula and solve for the distance between these points,

$D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2$

$D=\sqrt{((-3)-(-8))^2+((5)-(-7))^2$

Simplify,

$D=\sqrt{((-3)-(-8))^2+((5)-(-7))^2$

$D=\sqrt{(-3+8)^2+(5+7)^2$

$D=\sqrt{(5)^2+(12)^2$

$D=\sqrt{25+144}$

$D=\sqrt{169}$

$D=13$
