Question

Please include an explanation, i am confused. Thank you

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say,

(x1,y) (x2,y2)

are two points in a

xy

plane. We can find the shortest distance between two point by applying the distance formula stated as:

Distance

=√(x2−x1) 2+(y2−y1) 2

So by putting our given points

(x1,y1)=(6,−5) and (x2,y2)=(−1,−4)

in the distance formula, we have:

¯¯¯¯¯¯CD=√(−1−6)2+(−4−(5)2

Simplify to get:

5√2
