Question

What is the distance between `(5,-3)` and # (-5, -2) #?

Answer 1

#sqrt101 ≈ 10.05

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between 2 points , use the `color(blue)" distance formula "`

`d = sqrt((x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2)`

where `(x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)" are the coords of 2 points "`

let`(x_1,y_1)=(5,-3)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(-5,-2)`

`rArr d = sqrt((-5-5)^2+(-2+3)^2) = sqrt(100+1) =sqrt101`
