Answer:


d=√(5)

Explanation:

(3, -4) (5, -5)

To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula!

The distance formula is
d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

where
x_1,
y_1 are the coordinates of the first points and
x_2,
y_2 are the coordinates of the second point


d=√((5-3)^2+(-5-(-4))^2)


d=√((2)^2+(-1)^2)


d=√(4+1)


d=√(5)
