Answer:

The answer to your question is 17.5 units

Explanation:

Data

A (-10, 12)

B (5, 3)

Formula

dAB =
$\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^(2) + (y2 - y1)^(2)}$

x1 = -10 y1 = 12 x2 = 5 y2 = 3

- Substitution

dAB =
$\sqrt{(5 + 10)^(2) + (3 - 12)^(2)}$

- Simplification

dAB =
$\sqrt{15^(2)+ (-9)^(2)}$

dAB =
√(225 + 81)

dAB =
√(306)

Result

dAB = 17.49 units

The answer is the first choice
