Answer:


d = √(29)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra II

  • Distance Formula:
    d = √((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (8, -3)

Point (6, -8)

Step 2: Find distance d

  1. Substitute:
    d = √((6-8)^2+(-8+3)^2)
  2. Subtract/Add:
    d = √((-2)^2+(-5)^2)
  3. Exponents:
    d = √(4+25)
  4. Add:
    d = √(29)
