Question

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

Answer 1

root 25+49 + root 64+9

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance between given point will be 13 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are

L = (5, -8)

M = (-7, -3)

In the co-ordinate system distance between two point is given by

$d\ =\ \sqrt{(x2-x1)^2\ +\ (y2-y1)^2}$

$=>\ d\ =\ \sqrt{((-7)-5)^2\ +\ ((-3)-(-8))^2}$

$=>\ d\ =\ \sqrt{(-12)^2\ +\ (5)^2}$

$=>\ d\ =\ \sqrt{144\ +\ 25}$

$=>\ d\ =\ \sqrt{169}$

$=>\ d\ =\ \13\ cm$

Hence the distance between point L(5, -8) and M(-7, -3) is 13 cm.
