HELPPP! Which of the following is the distance between the two points shown?

2.5 units

3.5 units

−3.5 units

−2.5 units

Answer 1

Answer is 3.5 units

Answer 2

Answer: 3.5 units

Explanation:

We can count how many units the 2 points are away from each other and get 3.5

Or we can use the origin as a reference point, and since (-3,0) is 3 units away, and (0.5,0) is 0.5 units away. Adding the distances gives us 3.5 units
