Question

Find the distance between the points (-4, -5) and (3, -1).

Answer 1

Are you familiar with the distance formula?

Answer 2

No i am not

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

Your x1 is -4, your x2 is 3, your y1 is -5, and your y2 is -1.

Answer 5

let here
(x1,y1) =(-4,-5)
(x2,y2)=(3,-1)
now just put it in the formula which is given to u by @IMStuck and get the answer

Answer 6

where is your attempt at solving this problem?

Answer 7

Fill them in like this into the distance formula:\[d=\sqrt{(3-(-4))^{2}+(-1-(-5))^{2}}\]

Answer 8

there is no point in studying or improving your level of education if you're going to rely on people giving you all the clues or answers.
start from simple beginnings...

Answer 9

nincompoop, i am sorry i have not responded, my internet conection is a bit slow

Answer 10

\[d=\sqrt{(7)^{2}+(4)^{2}}\]

Answer 11

we can give all the formulas in the world, but if we don't make any connection with the concepts, it's a moot of a technique in problem solving.

Answer 12

Can you take it from there? Add the two together and then take the square root of their sum and that number is the distance between your two points.

Answer 13

IMstuck thank you, i can take it from here, thank you for you r help
