Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the distance between two points is expressed as;
[tex]\sqrt[\square]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]Given the coordinates (-9, -8) and (5, 1)
[tex]\begin{gathered} D\text{ = }\sqrt[\square]{(5-(-9))^2+(1-(-8))^2} \\ D\text{ = }\sqrt[\square]{(5+9)^2+(1+8)^2} \\ D=\sqrt[\square]{14^2+9^2} \\ D\text{ = }\sqrt[\square]{196+81} \\ D\text{ = }\sqrt[\square]{277} \\ D\text{ = 16.6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the distance bet
