Question

Calculate the distance between points G= (-3, 2) and B= (3, -3) in the coordinate plane

Answer 1

d=
`\sqrt (x2-x1)^(2) +(y2-y1)^(2)` =all squared root

Explanation:

1- G=(-3,2) and B= (3,-3)

Identify x and y

x1= -3

x2= 3

y1= 2

y2= -3

2-Distance between two points formula

d=
`\sqrt`(3-(-3))
`^(2)` + ((-3)-2)
`^(2)`

d=
`\sqrt`(6)
`^(2)` + (-5)
`^(2)`

d =
`\sqrt`36 + 25

d =
`\sqrt`61

d = 7.8 answer
