Distance between (-3,1) (1,5)
Mamont248 [21]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will use the distance formula.

d=\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}

For our (x1, y1), we will use (-3, 1). For our (x2, y2), we will use (1, 5). Now let's plug in our numbers and solve the problem.

d=\sqrt{(1-(-3))^2+(5-1)^2}

d=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}

d=\sqrt{16 + 16}

d=\sqrt{32}

d=5.657

So, the distance between (-3,1) and (1,5) is 5.657 units.

First,you do,2/5+2/3,but since you will need a common denominator,you will find the least common denominator for 5 and 3.The LCD(Least Common Denominator) will be 15 since both 5 and 3 could go in 15.Now,the equation looks like this: 2/15+2/15 since whatever you do to the bottom numbers,you NEED to do to the top numbers:2 and 2.Now you will need to do,2x3,since 5x3=15 and the answer to 2x3=6 then you do 2x5,since 3x5=15 the answer is 10 now the equation looks like this:6/15+10/15 now you add them together,and the answer will be 16/15 and if you want the answer to be a mixed number,it would look like this: 1 1/15. Hope this helps!
