What is the approximate distance between points A and B? (5 points)
A coordinate grid is shown from negative 5 to 0 to 5 on both axes at increments of 1. The ordered pair 4, 3 is labeled as A, and the ordered pair negative 2, negative 4 is labeled as B
3.61
9.22
10.35
12.62
To find the distance between two points, we can use the distance formula:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For A(4, 3) and B(-2, -4), we have:
Distance = √((-2 - 4)^2 + (-4 - 3)^2)
Distance = √((-6)^2 + (-7)^2)
Distance = √(36 + 49)
Distance = √85
Using a calculator, this is approximately 9.22.
Therefore, the approximate distance between points A and B is 9.22.
