Answer:


\large\boxed{VW=√(113)}

Explanation:

The formula of a distance between two points:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

We have the points W(4, 6) and V(-3, -2). Substitute:


VW=√((-3-4)^2+(-2-6)^2)=√((-7)^2+(-8)^2)=√(49+64)=√(113)

Answer:

The length of VW = √113 units

Explanation:

Distance formula

LetA(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y) be the two coordinates the

Length of AB = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

To find Length of VW

Here W(4,6) and V(-3,-2)

VW = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

= √[(-3 -4)² + (-2 - 6)²]

= √[(-7)² + (-8)²] = √(49 + 64) = √113

Therefore the length of VW = √113 units
