What is length of the line segment connecting (2, -2) and (-3, -1)?
The distance formula is: highlight%28d=sqrt%28%28x%5B2%5D-x%5B1%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B2%5D-y%5B1%5D%29%5E2%29%29, where d=distance, and (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two given points.
(x1,y1)=(2,-2) and (x2,y2)=(-3,-1)
d=sqrt%28%28-3-2%29%5E2%2B%28-1-%28-2%29%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%28%28-5%29%5E2%2B%281%29%5E2%29
d=sqrt%2825%2B1%29
highlight%28d=sqrt%2826%29%29
Happy Calculating!!!
