You have the formula, you have the data, so just plug in and do the arithmetic
btw, the formula is
d = √( (x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2 ) , the entire expression is under the square root
Using the distance formula, d = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2, what is the distance between point (-5, -2) and point (8, -3) rounded to the nearest tenth?
10.3 units
12.6 units
1 unit
13 units
