Given the Points A at (8 -5) and B at (-1, -2) determine AB

Remember that the distance between two points is given by the formula


d=\sqrt[]{(y2-y1)^2+(x2-x1)^2}

substitute the given values


AB=\sqrt[]{(-2+5)^2+(-1-8)^2}
\begin{gathered} AB=\sqrt[]{(3)^2+(-9)^2} \\ AB=\sqrt[]{90} \end{gathered}

AB is option B
