Question

What is the distance between point (-5,-6) and (-3,-8)

Answer 1

3.

Explanation:

Answer 2

`√(8) \\`

Explanation:

First, find the distance between the x values. From -5 to -3, the distance is 2 units. Then find the distance between the y values. From -6 to -8 the distance is 2. Then, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance.

(a^2)+(b^2)=c^2 Where a and b are the distances between the x and y values.

C will be your answer.

(2^2)+(2^2)=c^2.

4+4=c^2

8=c^2

So the answer is the square root of 8.
