Question

Find the distance between the pair of points (2,-5) and (3,-7).

Answer 1

Answer:

        2.24

Step-by-step explanation:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\\\(2,-5)\quad\implies\quad x_1=2\,,\ \ y_1=-5\\\\(3,-7)\quad\implies\quad x_2=3\,,\ \ y_2=-7\\\\d=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-7+5)^2}= \sqrt{1^2+(-2)^2}=\sqrt{1+4}=\sqrt5=2.236....\approx2.24$
