O B. (2-3)* +(4+3)?
C. (2-4)2 + (3+3)2
O D. (2-3)* +(4 +3)

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between 2 points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is

d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Here (x2, y2) = (2, 3) and (x1, y1) = (4, -3)

Plugging them gives us

d = √[(2 - 4)² + (3 - (-3))²]

d = √[(2 - 4)² + (3 + 3)²]
