Question

Find the distance between these points.
C(0, 4), T(-6, -3)

√(37)
√(85)
√(109)

Answer 1

Using the distance formula, when I plugged in the information, the answer I got was the square root of 85. (B)

Answer 2

The distance between 2 points C and T with their coordinates given is as follows:

C(x₁ , y₁) and T(x₂ , y₂) OR C(0,4) and T(-6,-3)


CT=√[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²] =√[(-6-0)² + (-3 - 4)²]


CT=√[(36) + (49)} = CT = √85
