Question

Find the distance between the following pairs of points (-8/5,-2) and (2/3,2)

Answer 1

Answer:4.59 sq units

Step-by-step explanation:let the two points be p and q

Let x2=2/3 and x1= -8/5

Let y2=2 and x1= -2

By distance formulae

Pq=over root (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

Pq=over root (2/3--8/5)^2 + (2--2)^2

Pq=over root (34/15)^2 + (4)^2

Pq=over root (5.10+16)

Pq=over root 21.10

Pq=4.59 sq units
