Question

What is the distance between (3,-4) and (5,-5)

Answer 1

`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)`
