Question

S is located at (9 -3) point T is located at (4 -3)

what is the distance from point S to point T

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The distance formula is:

`d = \sqrt {\left( {x_2 - x_1} \right)^2 + \left( {y_2 - y_1} \right)^2 }`

We can plug in the given coordinates into the equation:

`d = \sqrt {\left( {4 - 9} \right)^2 + \left( {-3 - (-3)} \right)^2 }\\d = \sqrt {\left( {-5} \right)^2 + \left( {-3+3} \right)^2 }\\d = \sqrt{25 + \left( {0} \right)^2 }\\d=√(25+0)\\d=√(25)\\d=5`
