Question

What is the distance between the points (5, 7) and (-3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Answer 1

subtract 3-4 from zero to get it into a even number then once you have that answer you will subtract the answer that you got from 5,7 and then you will find you're answer

Answer 2

Option B
`8.54\ units`

Explanation:

we know that

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

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

Let

`A(5,7)\\E(-3.4)`

substitute the values

`dAB=\sqrt{(4-7)^(2)+(-3-5)^(2)}`

`dAB=\sqrt{(-3^(2)+(-8)^(2)}`

`dAB=√(73)=8.54\ units`
