Answer 2

Use distance formula:

\[Distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}\]

Answer 3

ok?

Answer 4

\[x_2 = -1, x_1 = 8, y_2 = -1, y_1 = 11\]

Answer 5

Try to plug in the values and find the distance..

Answer 6

so the distance is = 11 units totALL?

Answer 7

How ??

Answer 8

idk how to do it can you just tell me the total units?

Answer 9

Your work is to plug in the values and then find the distance..

Try it you can do..

Answer 11

You got \(\sqrt{256}\) ??

Answer 12

Take the square root properly..

You are close to it..

Answer 13

yeah

Answer 14

Answer 15

how can you show me what you did??
So that I can tell you where you are wrong..

Answer 16

I think you are given with answer choices..

Right ??

Answer 17

i was not given choices :(

Answer 18

\[Distance = \sqrt{(-1 -8)^2 + (-1 - 11)^2} \implies \sqrt{9^2 + 12^2} \implies \sqrt{225}\]

Now can you find its value??
