Answer:

4

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points. Distance=√(x2−x1)2+(y2−y1)2

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula. √((−3)−1)2+((−5)−(−5))2

Simplify:

Subtract 11 from −3-3.

√(−4)2+((−5)−(−5)) power of 2

Raise −4-4 to the power of 22.

√16+((−5)−(−5))2

Multiply −1-1 by −5-5.

√16+(−5+5) power of 2

Add −5-5 and 55.

√16+02

Raising 00 to any positive power yields 00.

√16+0

Add 1616 and 00.

√16

Rewrite 1616 as 424 power of 2.

√4 power of 2

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.
