Answer:

B

Explanation:

Calculate the distance using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 3,9) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 1, 6)

d =
√(-1+3)^2+(6-9)^2)

=
√(2^2+(-3)^2)

=
√(4+9)

=
√(13) ≈ 3.6 → B

Answer:

(B) 3.6

Explanation:

Coordinate of A = (-3, 9)

Coordinate of B = (-1, 6)


\text {Distance = }√((- 3 - (-1) )^2 + (9 - 6)^2)


\text {Distance = }√((- 2 )^2 + (3)^2)


\text {Distance = }√(13)


\text {Distance = }3.6
