help please! A student calculated the distance between the points (2, 3) and (–3, 5). https://media.glynlyon.com/g_geo_ccss_2013/9/img_g_geou09p18d2_01d.gif In two or more complete sentences, explain whether or not the student’s calculation of the distance between the two points is correct.

can you find anything wrong with the process?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
