Answer 1

32 Number C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The distance between both points is 4√2 units

Explanation:

Here in this question, we want to calculate the distance between two given points.

These points are (8,-3) and (4,-7)

Mathematically, the distance between two points can be given as;

D = √(x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

where x1 = 4, x2 = 8 , y1 = -7 and y2 = -3

Substituting these values;

D = √(8 -4)^2 + (-3-(-7)^2

D = √(4)^2 + (4)^2

D = √(16+16)

D = √(32)

D = 4√2 units
