find the distance: (2,5), (-3,1)

Question

Im confused

Answer 1

MAYBE IT would help to plot the two points on a piece of graph paper, and draw a right triangle, using the distance between the points as the hypotenuse; you can figure out the lengths of the legs.  Then use the Pythagorean theorem.

 

Or, use the Distance Formula found in your Algebra course, for distance between two known points.
