Given the points:
A ( -7, 3 )
B ( 4 , 5 )
x1 = -7
x2 = 4
y1 = 3
y2 = 5
Determine the distance.
Distance formula:
d=√(( x2 - x1)²+( y2 - y1)²)
Solution:
Substitute the given values of x1, x2, y1 and y2, to the distance formula.
d=√(( x2 - x1)²+( y2 - y1)²)
d=√(( 4 - (-7))²+( 5 - 3)²)
d=√(( 4 + 7 )²+( 2 )²)
d=√((11)²+ 4 )
d=√( 121 + 4 )
d=√(125)
d = 11.18 units
Final answer:
d = 11.18 units
