Answer 1

What is the distance between the points (5,7) and (-3, 4) on the coordinate plane? O A. 8.54 hits O B. 12.04 units O C. 7.28 units O D. 3.61 units​

we know that

The formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

`d=\sqrt[]{(y_(2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2)}`

substitute the given points in the formula

`\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt[]{(4-7)^2+(-3-5)^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{-3^2+(-8)^2} \\ \\ d=\sqrt[]{73} \\ d=8.54\text{ } \end{gathered}`

therefore

the answer is 8.54
