The distance between the points (-5,1) and (3,-2) is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you want to use the distance for a line equation... that is y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and plug in your x and y points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x1 = -5, x2=3, y1=1 and y2=-2

OpenStudy (yanni):

-3/8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nice job

OpenStudy (yanni):

is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use the distance formula to find the distance between two given points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's not hard when you have the points

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jtryon, you are mixing up the slope and distance

OpenStudy (yanni):

root 73

OpenStudy (yanni):

???
