Question

I would appreciate the help on this problem. A. 6B. 10C. 12D. None of the above

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given points: (-8, 1) and (-2, -7)

We would apply the distance formula:

$dis\tan ce\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}$$\begin{gathered} x_1=-8,y_1=1,x_2=-2,y_2\text{ = -}7 \\ \text{distance = }\sqrt[]{(-7-1)^2_{}+(-2-(-8))^2} \end{gathered}$$undefined$
