Question

What is the distance between (8, -3) and (4, -7)?
Choose 1 answer

Answer 1

under root 32 is the right answer

Answer 2

Option C √32 is correct

Explanation:

Here,

x₁ = 8

x₂ = 4

y₁ = (-3)

y₂ = (-7)

Now,

By Using Distance Formula

D = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

= √(4 - 8)² + [(-7) - (-3)]²

= √(-4)² + [(-7) + 3]²

= √16 + (-4)²

= √16 + 16

D = √32

Thus, The distance between (8, -3) and (4, -7) is √32
