Which equation correctly shows how to determine the distance between the points (9, -2) and (6, 3) on a coordinate

grid?
O da V(6-3)2 + (9-(-21)
od= V(6+3)2 + (9+ (-2)
d-(6-9)+(3-(-2))?
d=16+9)2 + (3+(-2112

Answer:


\large \textsf{d = $√((6-9)^2+(3-(-2))^2)$}

Explanation:

Distance formula:
\large \textsf {d = $√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$}

Distance between the points (9, -2) and (6, 3):

  • x₁ = 9
  • x₂ = 6
  • y₁ = -2
  • y₂ = 3


\large \textsf {d = $√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)$}\\\\\large \textsf{d = $√((6-9)^2+(3-(-2))^2)$}\\\\\large \textsf{d = $√((6-9)^2+(3+2)^2)$}\\\\

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D)
d=√((6-9)^2+(3-(-2))^2)

Explanation:

Distance between two points formula:


d=√((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Given:

(x₂, y₂) = (6, 3)

(x₁, y₁) = (9, -2)


\implies d=√((6-9)^2+(3-(-2))^2)
