Question

A coordinate plane is shown with labeled points.
A: (-3, -2) and B: (1,4)
What is the distance

Answer 1

To find the distance between points A and B, you can use the distance formula:

Distance = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Plugging in the coordinates for points A and B:

Distance = sqrt((1 - (-3))^2 + (4 - (-2))^2)
Distance = sqrt((1 + 3)^2 + (4 + 2)^2)
Distance = sqrt(4^2 + 6^2)
Distance = sqrt(16 + 36)
Distance = sqrt(52)
Distance ≈ 7.211

Therefore, the distance between points A and B is approximately 7.211.
