Answer:

Explanation:

Point 1 (
(2)/(3) ,
(-10)/(9)) in the form (x1,y1)

Point 2 (
(5)/(3) ,
(-7)/(9)) in the form (x2,y2)

use the distance formula

dist = sqrt[ (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 ]

dist = sqrt [
(5)/(3) -
(2)/(3))^2 + (
(-7)/(9) - (
(-10)/(9) ) )^2 ]

dist = sqrt [ (
(3)/(3))^2 + (
(3)/(9))^2 ]

dist = sqrt [ 1 + (
(1)/(3))^2 ]

dist = sqrt [
(9)/(9) +
(1)/(9) ]

dist =
\sqrt{(10)/(9) }

dist =
√(10) *
\sqrt{(1)/(9) }

dist =
√(10) *
(1)/(3)

dist =
(√(10) )/(3)

Explanation:

always Pythagoras with the coordinate differences as sides and the distance the Hypotenuse.

c² = (2/3 - 5/3)² + (-10/9 - -7/9)² = (-3/3)² + (-10/9 + 7/9)² =

= (-1)² + (-3/9)² = 1 + (-1/3)² = 1 + 1/9 = 10/9

c = sqrt(10)/3
