Question

What is the distance between points (-5, 1) (-2, 3)

Answer 1

Explanation:

using distance formula:

distance between two points =
`\sqrt{(-2-(-5))^(2) +(3-1)^(2) }`

=whole root of (-2+5)^2+2^2

=whole root of 3^2+2^2

=whole root of 9+4

=
`√(13)` units =3.60555... #answerwithquality #BAL

Answer 2

Answer:the distance between the two points is 3.61

Explanation:

The formula for determining the distance between two points is expressed as

d = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

From the information given,

y2 = 3

y1 = 1

x2 = - 2

x1 = - 5

Therefore, the distance between the two points would be

d = √(-2 - -5)^2 + (3 - 1)^2

d = √3^2 + 2^2

d = √9 + 4

d = √13 = 3.61
