Question

find the distance between the points (-4 -5) and (2 3) on a coordinate plane. explain or show your strategy for finding the correct distance. Remember to state your answer clearly

Answer 1

You can just use this formula:

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

Answer 2

D=distance

D=√(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

x1= -4
x2= 2
y1= -5
y2= 3

D=√(2- -4)^2+(3- -5)^2
D=10
