Answer 1

Answer:

9.434 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

points (5,4) and (-3,-1)

x1= 5

y1= 4

x2= -3

y2= -1

The expression for the distance between two points is

d=√((x_2-x_1)²+(y_2-y_1)²)

substitute

d=√((-3-5)²+(-1-4)²)

d=√((-8)²+(-5)²)

d=√64+25

d=√89

d=9.4339

d= 9.434 units

Hence the distance between the points is 9.434 units
