Question

What is the distance between the points (-3, -5) and (0, -1)?

Answer 1

Distance between points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
\(\huge d=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2}\)
does this help ??

Answer 2

I got -25 is that correct?

Answer 3

distance can never be negative
how did you get -25 ?

Answer 4

(-3-0)^2+(-5(-1))^2
(-3-0)^2+(-5+1)
(-3)^2+(-4)^2
-9+-16=-25

Answer 5

\((-3)^2= (-3)\times (-3)=9 \\ (-4)^2 =16\)

got this ?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

so now whats the sum ?

Answer 8

\(d =\sqrt{16+9}=...?\)

Answer 9

25

Answer 10

so, the distance d = \(\sqrt {25}=...?\)

Answer 11

5

Answer 12

thats correct! thats your distance :)
