Question

Find the distance between each pair of points. if necessary, round answers to two decimal places. (-2,3) and (3,-9)

Answer 1

----------------------------------------------------
Coordinates
----------------------------------------------------
(-2 , 3) and ( 3, -9)

----------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------

`Distance = √((Y_2-Y_1)^2 + (X_2 - X_1)^2)`

----------------------------------------------------
Substitute coordinates and find distance
----------------------------------------------------

`Distance = √((3 - (-9))^2 + (-2-3)^2)`


`Distance = √((12)^2 + (-5)^2)`


`Distance = √(144 + 25)`


`Distance = √(169)`


`Distance = 13 \ units`

----------------------------------------------------
Answer: 13 units
