Find the distance, d, of AB. A = (2, 5) B = (-6, -3) d = [?] d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²) Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer

To find the distance d between points A and B, use the distance formula:
d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

  1. Substitute the given points into the formula:
    d = √((-6 - 2)² + (-3 - 5)²)
  2. Calculate the differences:
    d = √((-8)² + (-8)²)
  3. Square the differences:
    d = √(64 + 64)
  4. Add the squares:
    d = √128
  5. Calculate the square root:
    d ≈ 11.3

Therefore, the distance d is approximately 11.3 units.
