Question

Find the distance between (1, -2) and (-4, 3).
A. 5.83
B. 3.16
C. 7.07
D. 5

Answer 1

Points given : (1, -2) and (-4 , 3)
Formula for fimding the distance between two points is
sqrt[( y2 -y1)^2 +(x2 -x1)^2]
=sqrt[(3 -(-2) )^2 + (-4 -1)^2]
= sqrt[( 5)^2 +(-5)^2]
=sqrt[( 25+25)]
=sqrt(50)
=7.07
