Answer 2

Explanation:

Hey there!

The points are; S(-5,-2) and T(-3,4).

Using distance formula to find the distance between two points.

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

Put all values.

`d = \sqrt{ {( - 3 + 5)}^(2) + {(4 + 2)}^(2) }`

Simplify it.

`d = \sqrt{ {(2)}^(2) + {(6)}^(2) }`

`d = √(4 + 36)`

`d = √(40)`

Therefore the distance between two points is root 40 units Or 6.324 units.

Or, you can write as 6 units after rounding off.

Hope it helps...
