Question

Find the distance between the points (3, 3) and (-3, -2).

Answer 1

To find the distance between (3, 3) and (-3, -2), we use the formula

`D=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)`

`\begin{gathered} (x_1,y_1)=(3,3) \\ \\ (x_2,y_2)=(-3,-2) \end{gathered}`
`\Rightarrow D=√((-3-3)^2+(-2-3)^2)=√(36+25)=√(61)`

Therefore, the distance between the points (3, 3) and (-3, -2) is

`D=√(61)`
