Question

In a rectangular coordinate system what is the distance from (-2,-1) to (5,3)

Answer 1

Distance is
`√(65)`

Explanation:

Use the distance formula:

`\sqrt{(x_(2) - x_{1)^(2) + (y_(2) - y_(1))^(2)}`

`\sqrt{(5 - (-2))^(2) + (3 - (-1))^(2) }`

`\sqrt{(7)^(2) + (4)^(2)}`

`√(49 + 16)`

`√(65)`
