Question

What is the distance between points (5,7) and (-3,4)

Answer 1

11 units is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:
`8.54\ units`

Explanation:

You need to use the following formula for calculate the distance between two points:

`d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

In this case you have these points:

(5,7) and (-3,4)

So, you can identify that:

`x_2=-3\\x_1=5\\\\y_2=4\\y_1=7`

Then, you can substitute values into the formula.

Therefore, the distance between the given points is:

`d=√((-3-5)^2+(4-7)^2)\\\\d=8.54\ units`
