Question

find the distance between each following pairs of points
l(5,-8) , m(-7,-3)​

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between (5,-8) and (-7,-3) is $\sqrt{65}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the distance between the points $(x,y)$ and $(a,b)$ is

$distance =\sqrt{(a-x)^2+(b-y)^2}$

Using the above formula, the distance between the points (5,-8) and (-7,-3) is

$distance =\sqrt{(-3-5)^2+(-7-(-8))^2}\\\\=\sqrt{(-8)^2+1^2}=\sqrt{64+1}=\sqrt{65}$

The value $\sqrt{65} \approx 8.06$
