Question

What is the distance between (-5, 2) and (4,-9)?

Use the distance formula, d = √ (x2 − X1)² + (Y2 − Y1)².
OA. 8.23
O B. 11.05
O C. 14.21
O D. 16.27

Answer 1

d = √ (4 - (-5))² + (-9 - 2)²

d = √ 9² + (-11)²

d = √81 + 121

d = √202

d ≈ 14.21

Therefore, the distance between (-5, 2) and (4, -9) is approximately 14.21 units. The answer is (C) 14.21.
