Problem

Question 4 of 26 What is the distance between the points \( (2,-3) \) and \( (-6,4) \) on the coordinate plane? A. 10.63 units B. 4.12 units C. 8.06 units D. 3.87 units

Solution

Step 1 :1. Calculate the horizontal distance: \(x_2 - x_1 = (-6) - (2) = -8\)

Step 2 :2. Calculate the vertical distance: \(y_2 - y_1 = 4 - (-3) = 7\)

Step 3 :3. Use the distance formula: \(d = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + (7)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 49} = \sqrt{113} \approx 10.63\)
