Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey, there!!

The given points are A(5,1) and B(-3,-5)

We have, distance formulae for AB is,

`ab = \sqrt{ {(x2 - x1)}^(2) + ( {y2 - y1)}^(2) }`

`ab = \sqrt{( { - 3 - 5)}^(2) + ( { - 5 - 1)}^(2) }`

`ab = \sqrt{( { - 8)}^(2) + ( { - 6)}^(2) }`

`ab = √(64 + 36)`

`ab = √(100)`

Therefore, the distance between AB points is 10 units.

Hope it helps...
