Question

Find the distance between the points (-5,0) and (-4,1).

A)1
B) 2 square root 2
C) square root 2

Answer 1

The distance
`D` between
`(-5, 0)` and
`(-4, 1)` is calculated by:

`D = \sqrt{((-4) - (-5))^(2) +(1 - 0)^(2) } = \sqrt{1^(2) + 1^(2) } = √(2)`

=> Option C is correct

Hope this helps!
