Answer 1

In effect the problem is asking for the distance between the two points (-5,3) and (4,-2).
Agree?

Answer 2

Use the distance formula, or use the pythagorean as the line segment is a hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Answer 3

the distance formula \[d=\sqrt{(x _{1}-x _{2})^{2} + (y _{1}-y _{2})^{2}}\]

Answer 4

Plug in the point (x,y) values and solve.

Answer 5

Let P1 be (-5,3) and P2 be (4,-2)
now plug in those values like this:
\[d=\sqrt{(-5 -4)^{2}+(3-(-2))^{2}}\]
