Answer:

19 or √145 ≈ 12.04

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to determine the distance between the two points.

Distance = √ ( x ₂ − x ₁ )² + ( y ₂ − y ₁ ) ²

Substitute the actual values of the points into the distance formula.

√ ( 4 − ( − 5 )) ² + ( ( − 5 ) − 3 ) ²

Simplify:

√ 145

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:

√ 145

Decimal Form:

12.04159457 … ≈ 12.04
