Question

What epuation correctly shows how to determine the distance between points 9,-2 6,3

Answer 1

`d = √((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2)`

This is the distance formula. To find the distance, solve as shown:

`d=\sqrt{(6-9)^(2)+(3-(-2))^(2) } \\d=\sqrt{(6-9)^(2)+(3+2)^(2) } \\d=\sqrt{(-3)^(2)+(5)^(2) } \\d=√(9 +25 ) \\d=√(34 )`
