Question

On a coordinate plane, Point C is at (-3,5) and Point D is at (4,9). What is the distance from point C to point D?

Answer 1

5
`\sqrt[\\]{3} \\` or about 8.66

Explanation:

To find the distance of any line, you have to use distance formula.

`\sqrt{(y-y_(1) )^(2) + (x-x_(1) )^(2)`

So, we insert our points:

`\sqrt{(5-9 )^(2) + (-3-4 )^(2)`

Then you solve, and should end up with
`√(75)`. Either you can simplify it for an exact number, or you can round. It depends on what the directions ask for.
