Question

Find the length of segment AB. (Find the distance between the two points). A(-3,5) B(0,1)

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The formula is
`\sqrt{(x_(1)-x_(2))^(2) +(y_(1)-y_(2)})^(2) }`

`x_(1)`=-3
`x_(2)`=0

`y_(1)`=5
`y_(2)`=1

`x_(1)- x_(2)`=-3

`y_(1)- y_(2)=4`

Therefore:
`\sqrt{(-3)^(2)+4^(2) } =√(9+16) =√(25)=5`
