Question

What is the distance between the points (5,7)and (-3,4) on the coordinate plane

Answer 1

`\boxed{D = 8.5 \ units}`

Explanation:

The coordinates are (5,7) and (-3,4)

Distance Formula =
`√((x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2)`

D =
`√((-3-5)^2+(4-7)^2)`

D =
`√((-8)^2+(-3)^2)`

D =
`√(64+9)`

D =
`√(73)`

D = 8.5 units
