Question

What is the distance between point A (-3, 3) and Point B (-2, 7)?

Answer 1

To find the distance between 2 points, you have to use the distance formula:
`\sqrt{(x_(2)- x_(1))^(2) +( y_(2)- y_(1))^2 }`. Fill in your numbers, and you got this: √((-2) - (-3))² + (7 - 3)², which equals about 4.123.

Answer: about 4.123

Answer 2

4 units. Plot the two point and connect them with a line. You can now make a right triangle. The line you plotted is the hypotonuse. Use the pythagorean theorem to find the distance between A and B is 4 units.
