Question

The points (-3, 7) and (5, 1) are plotted on a coordinate plane.what is the distance?

Answer 1

- The formula for finding the distance between two points is given below:

`\begin{gathered} Given, \\ (x_1,y_1)\text{ and }(x_2,y_2) \\ \\ \text{ The distance between the points is:} \\ D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \end{gathered}`

- We have been given:

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(-3,7) \\ (x_2,y_2)=(5,1) \end{gathered}`

- Thus, we have the distance to be
