Question

What is the distance between the points (-6, -2) and (-4,-5)?

Select the best answer from the choices provided.
A. Square13
B.square53
C.square149

Answer 1

A. Square13

Explanation:

Suppose we have two points:

`A = (x_(1), y_(1))`

`B = (x_(2), y_(2))`

The distance between these points is:

`D = \sqrt{(x_(2) - x_(1))^(2) + (y_(2) - y_(1))^(2)}`

Distance between (-6,-2) and (-4,-5).

`D = \sqrt{(-6 - (-4))^(2) + (-2 -(-5))^(2)} = \sqrt{(-2)^(2) + (3)^(2)} = √(13)`

So the correct answer is:

A. Square13
