Question

Find the distance between the points (-5,-3) and (0,9). Round your answer to one decimal place, if necessary.

Answer 1

√(0+5)^2+(9+3)^2. …two negatives make a positive so that’s how both 3 and 5 got flipped to positive.


√ 5^2+(9+3)^2. Remove the 0 since 5+0=5

√25+12^2. Evaluate

√ 25+134. Then just add

√ 169. Evaluate

13 is the answer
