1.What is the Distance Between Points A(4,-1) and B(-6,-3)?

from what i can remember when i took geometry i think that you use the distance formula

i believe it is

d = *square root of* (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2

just plug in the numbers
for example 4 would be x1 and -6 would be x2

lyne's answer is correct.

d = sqrt(10^2 + 2^2) = sqrt 104
= 10.198

To find the distance between two points in a Cartesian coordinate system, you can use the distance formula. The distance formula is given by:

√((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

In this case, the coordinates of point A are (4,-1) and the coordinates of point B are (-6,-3). Let's substitute these values into the distance formula:

√((-6 - 4)^2 + (-3 - (-1))^2)

Simplifying further:

√((-10)^2 + (-3 + 1)^2)

√(100 + 4)

√104

Therefore, the distance between points A(4,-1) and B(-6,-3) is √104 units.
