To find the length of AB, you need to find the distance from A to B.

Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula

The first point is (x1,y1). The second point is (x2,y2)

Since the first point is (-3, 2), we can say (x1, y1) = (-3, 2)
So ,

Since the second point is (1, -5), we can also say (x2, y2) = (1, -5)
So ,

Put this all together to get: , , , and

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points (-3, 2) and (1, -5)

Plug in , , , and

==========================================================

Answer:

The distance between the two points (-3, 2) and (1, -5) is exactly units

The approximate distance between the two points is about 8.06225774829855 units

So again,

Exact Distance: units

Approximate Distance: units
