Question

Determine the distance between the points (−5, −4) and (0, 8). 13 units 12 units 8 units 29 units

Answer 1

Explanation:

You would want to use the distance formula to find this. Fill in the correct variables and solve. Let’s say (0,8) is 1 and (-5,-4) is 2. When solving use pemdas to make sure you get the correct answer. The included image shows the work on how to do the problem. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

13

Explanation:

plot the 2 points on grid paper,

connect the 2 points

you'll get triangle that has 8+4 =12 units on the Y axis

and 5 units to the left on X axis

the DIRECT distance b/w the 2 points = sqrt of (5²+12²) =√169 =13
