Question

Someone please help me answer this correctly

Answer 1

13 units is the answer.

Explanation:

points (8,-4) and (3,8)

We can rewrite the Pythagorean theorem as,

`d=√((x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2) \\\\d= √((3-8)^2 + (8-(-4))^2) \\\\d=√((-5)^2 + (12)^2) \\\\d=√(25 + 144) \\\\d=√(169) \\\\d=13\\\\`

∴ distance between 2 points (8,-4) and (3,8) = 13 units.
