Question

What is the distance between these two points: (2, 3) and (- 5, 4)

Answer 1

√58 units.

Explanation:

We have:(2,−3) and (5,−4)

Let's apply the distance formula:

⇒d=√(x2−x1)²+(y2−y1)²

⇒d=√(5−2+(−4−(−3))²

⇒d=√3²+(−7)²

⇒d=√9+49

⇒d=√58

Therefore, the distance between the two points

(2,−3) and (5,−4) is √58 units.
