Question

1. Find the distance between A (-6, -5) and B (2.0)
9.13
9.43
9.03
9.0

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

To find the distance between any two points, we can use the distance formula.

The distance formula is:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

Let's let (-6,-5) be x₁ and y₁ and let (2,0) be x₂ and y₂. Therefore:

`d=√((2--6)^2+(0--5)^2)`

Simplify:

`d=\sqrt{(8^2)+(5)^2`

Square and add:

`d=√(64+25)\\d=√(89)`

Use a calculator:

`d\approx9.4340`

Our answer is B :)
