The points A(-3,5) and B(1, -2) are located in a coordinate plane.
What is the approximate distance between the two points?
0 8.1
0 7.3
0 1.7
0 5.0

Answer:

8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance d use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

AB = [tex]\sqrt{(1+3)^2+(-2-5)^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{4^2+(-7)^2}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{16+49}[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{65}[/tex] ≈ 8.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
