I will give a medal I really need help Find the distance between these points. A (5, 8), B(-3, 4) AB =
what is the fuction?
\[distance formula = \sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2} + (y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]when given the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) so when given the points (5, 8) and (-3, 4) plug in x1=5 , y1=8 , x2=-3 , y2=4
Is that the answer ?
you should apply the distance for yourself not ask for the answer.
you would plug in x1=5 , y1=8 , x2=-3 , y2=4 into the distance formula and simplify to get your answer :)
so \[\sqrt{(-3 - (5))^{2} + (4 - 8)^{2}}\] then simplify
so 3-5=5 and 4-8=5 so then 5x5=25 so is the answer 25 ??? I feel like its wrong ? im not sure
... it is a -3 - 5 so like -(3+5) = and 8 - 4 does not equal 5 ...
so 8x 8=64
Are there any answer choices?
-(3+5) = -8 (8-4) = 4 \[\sqrt{(-8)*(-8) + (4)*(4)} = \sqrt{(64) + (16)}\]
no but i have to write the number in a sqaure root forme
then what is 64+16 then put that number under a squareroot
that sqare root of 80 is 8.9
yes, but you said that they wanted it in square root form so you would probably just keep it as squareroot of 80
