Question

find the distance between each pair

Answer 1

Hey there!

In order to answer this problem, you'll need to refer to the distance formula:

x₁ = –3, x₂ = 2
y₁ = 2, y₂ = –1
  _______________
√(x₂ – x₁)² + (y₂ – y₁)²
  _________________
√(2 – (–3))² + (–1 – 2)²
  ____________
√(2 + 3)² + (–3)²
  _________
√(5)² + (–3)²
  _____
√15 + 9
  __
√24 ≈ 4.9

Depending on whether they want you to express the answer as a rational number or a radical number, your answer will either be √24 or 4.9. Hope this helped you out! :-)
