Question

On the rectangular coordinate system, what is the shortest distance between points (−4, 3) and (−2, −1)?

Answer 1

In other words to what the dude above me said, the answer is "a''

Explanation:

Answer 2

Shortest Distance =
`\sqrt{ (-4+2)^(2) + (3+1)^(2) }`
Shortest Distance =
`\sqrt{ (-2)^(2) + (4)^(2) }`
Shortest Distance =
`√(20)`
Shortest Distance =
`4.47 units`
