Question #28c14

Answer 1

Presuming you are asking for the distance between the two points use the distance formula derived from Pythagoras theorem

Explanation:

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

Now, we just have to substitute the values in for the variables:

Distance = `sqrt (("x2" - "x1")^2 + ("y2" - "y1")^2`
= `sqrt (("-1" - "1")^2 + ("5" - "-4")^2`
= `sqrt ((-2)^2 + (9)^2`
= `sqrt ((4 + 81)`
= `sqrt (85)`
`approx 9.22`

`therefore` The distance between A and B is `9.22` units

All the best!
