Question

Two points sit on a line with the following coordinates p(2,2) and Q(3,7) which is the distance from p to q

A 10
B 15
C 23
D 26

Answer 1

`√(26)`

Step-by-step explanation

Given the coordinates p(2,2) and Q(3,7),

we can use the distance formula to find the distance between P and Q.

The distance formula is given by,

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

We substitute the coordinates to get,

`d=√((3-2)^2+(7-2)^2)`

`d=√((1)^2+(5)^2)`

`d=√(1+25)`

`d=√(26)`
