Solved by pluggable solver: Distance Formula


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


Since the first point is (-3, -5), we can say (x1, y1) = (-3, -5)
So ,


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


Put this all together to get: , , , and

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


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






Plug in , , , and

























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

Answer:


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


The approximate distance between the two points is about 10.1980390271856 units



So again,


Exact Distance: units


Approximate Distance: units
