Question

Find the distance between the two points. Show your work.

Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

Points (-3,5) and ( 3,1)

distance d can be found using the distance formula ( modified Pyhtagorean theorem)

d^2 = ( x1-x2)^2 + ( y1-y2)^2

d^2 = ( -3 -3)^2 + ( 5-1)^2

d^2 = 36 + 16

d^2 = 52

d = sqrt(52) = 2 sqrt(13)
