Answer:
Option c (7.8) is the correct alternative.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given points are:
(x₁, y₁) = (2, -3)
(x₂, y₂) = (-4, 2)
As we know,
The distance between two points will be:
= [tex]\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2-(-3))^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(-4-2)^2+(2+3)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{(6)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{36+25}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{61}[/tex]
= [tex]7.8 \ units[/tex]
