Answer:

Distance between the two points

AB = √52 = 7.2111

Explanation:

Explanation:-

Given points are (-1,-2) and (5,2)

Distance formula


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


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


= \sqrt{(6 )^(2) +(4)^(2) }

= √36+16

=√52

= 7.2111

Final answer:-

Distance between the two points

AB = √52 = 7.2111
