can someone guide me to the answer or at least ...

mathmate · Answer

Hint:
Distance between two points
= $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$

elonasushchik · Answer

~23.3

mathmate · Answer

Sorry I gave you the wrong equation, because the question is not complete.
I think the question should read:
" Find the point that is $equal$ distance from point C to point D. (1 point)"
This means to find the mid-point between the two given points.
The formula for mid-point is:
mid-point=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)
I think you will have no difficulty with that.

elonasushchik · Answer

So itsAor D right?

mathmate · Answer

I do not look at choices, so don't know which one is right.
And I need you to show me how you got your answer if you want me to check it.

mathmate · Answer

I will be pleased to look at your answer, and how you got it.

elonasushchik · Answer

my equation right now is y=4/5x+6/5

4^2 + 5^2  =   c^2   
16  +  25   =   41  =  c^2
so c =  Sqrt(41)

elonasushchik · Answer

so square 41 is the distance between the two points

elonasushchik · Answer

Because the total rise  is    4,    so 1/4    of the rise will be    just    1

elonasushchik · Answer

Since point C   is  (1,2)   you want to add   1  to the y part then plug it in to your equation

so plug 3 into the Y of your equation and solve       (x,3)  or  3 = 4/5x +  6/5
soo....umm

elonasushchik · Answer

so thats how I got D

elonasushchik · Answer

@mathmate u dere

mathmate · Answer

@ElonaSushchik 
First step is to confirm that my version of the question is correct, i.e. if YOUR question is asking for the position of the mid-point between C and D, i.e. the point which is equal distance from C & D.

elonasushchik · Answer

okay soo...

elonasushchik · Answer

was d correct?

mathmate · Answer

Can you first confirm the question?  All four choices are wrong with the question as it is.

elonasushchik · Answer

yes it was correct Thank Yoou @mathmate

mathmate · Answer

The question is as posted?

elonasushchik · Answer

ya and I was correct

mathmate · Answer

Ok then I give up, because the question is asking for a distance, and all four choices are points.  Perhaps you may want to sort this out with your teacher.
