Answer 3

or some one?

Answer 4

hmmm did you mean -5, 4 and 2, 5? as opposed to the decimals shown

Answer 5

Cake-oh-la: Would you consider plotting those two points, please?
How far apart are the points in the horiz. direction? In the vertical direction?
Your points (-5,4) MUST be enclosed in parentheses. Enclose "2, 5" in parentheses, please.

Answer 10

@jdoe0001: Please be respectful of the person you're trying to help. No "it's right under y our nose." As a matter of fact, I doubt that the distance in question is |5.4-2.5|.
The two points are (-5,4) and (2,5). Perhaps you could provide @cupcakeohla with the appropriate distance formula.
