Question

A (−5, 3)B (3, −3)
What is the distance of AB?

Answer 1

14 units

Explanation:

you count rise over run so you move down from point a until you are on the same y value as b and the the distance from there to b so you go down 6 units and right 8 units which all together is 14 units

hope this helps!

Answer 2

AB = 10

Explanation:

Given:

Two points are given
`A(-5, 3)` and
`B(3, -3)`

The distance formula of the two points is.

`AB=\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^(2)+(y_(2)-y_(1))^(2)}`

Put given values in above equation.

`x=\sqrt{(3-(-5))^(2)+(-3-3)^(2)}`

`x=\sqrt{(3+5)^(2)+(-6)^(2)}`

`x=\sqrt{(8)^(2)+(-6)^(2)}`

`x=√(64+36)`

`x=√(100)`

`x=10`

Therefore, the distance of the line AB is 10
