Question

What is the distance between the points (-5, 2) and (4, 9)?

Answer 1

\[\sqrt({x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}\] This is the distance formula for distance between 2 points.

the radical should extend over all of the equation. You have been provided the two points, you have the x and y values needed. Good luck with your solution.

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\] There it is just plug in the values and solve.
