Answer: 17 or 289
(-5,8) to (3,-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the difference between coordinates:
(x2-x1) = (3 - -5) = 8
(y2-y1) = (-7 - 8) = -15
Square the results and sum them up:
(8)2 + (-15)2 = 64 + 225 = 289
Now Find the square root and that's your result:
Exact solution: √289 = 17
Approximate solution: 17
