Question

Find the distance between the points C(−6, 5) and D(−3, 1).

Answer 1

5 units

Explanation:

Given the following question:

To find the answer to this question we will use the formula to calculate distance.

(6, 5) = (x1, y1)
(-3, 1) = (x2, y2)


`d=√((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)`

`d=√((-6-(-3))^2+(5-1)^2)`

`-6+3=-3`

`5-1=4`

`d=√((-3^2+4^2))`

`-3^2=-3*-3=9`

`4^4=4*4=16`

`d=√(9+16)`

`9+16=25`

`√(25)`

`√(25) =5*5=25`

`=5`

Which means the distance between the two points is "5 units."

Hope this helps.
