Question

What is the approximate distance between points A and B? A coordinate grid is shown from negative 5 to 0 to 5 on both axes at increments of 1. The ordered pair negative 4, 5 is labeled as A, and the ordered pair 3, negative 2 is labeled as B. 3.74 7.95 8.56 9.90

Answer 1

distance formula : sqrt ((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
(-4,5).....x1 = -4 and y1 = 5
(3,-2).....x2 = 3 and y2 = -2
time to sub and solve....
d = sqrt ((3 - (-4)^2 + (-2 - 5)^2)
d = sqrt ((3 + 4)^2 + (-7^2))
d = sqrt (7^2 + (-7^2)
d = sqrt (49 + 49)
d = sqrt 98
d = 9.899 rounds to 9.90 <===

Answer 2

Yhe answer would be B. 7.95
Please let me know if i'm correct
