What is the distance between (-5, 2) and (4, —9)?
Use the distance formula, d = 1(202 - x1) + (y2 -
Using the distance formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
d = √((4 - (-5))^2 + (-9 - 2)^2)
d = √(9^2 + (-11)^2)
d = √(81 + 121)
d = √202
d ≈ 14.2
Therefore, the distance between (-5, 2) and (4, -9) is approximately 14.2 units.
