The points a(-3,5) and b(1, -2) are located in a coordinate plane.
what is the approximate distance between the two points?
0 8.1
0 7.3
0 1.7
0 5.0

8.1

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance d use the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2)

AB =

     = ≈ 8.1 ( to 1 dec. place )
