Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distance formula, [tex] d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex], to solve each problem.
1. Distance between A(0, 0) and B(-5, 7):
[tex] (0, 0) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (-5, 7) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(-5 - 0)^2 + (7 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (7)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 49} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{74} [/tex]
2. Distance between A(-3, 1) and B(-11, 1):
[tex] (-3, 1) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (-11, 1) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(-11 - (-3))^2 + (1 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{(-8)^2 + (0)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 0} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{64} = 8 [/tex]
3. Distance between A(-3, -2) and B(5, 6):
[tex] (-3, -2) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (5, 6) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(5 - (-3))^2 + (6 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{(8)^2 + (8)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 64} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{128} = \sqrt{64*2} [/tex]
[tex] AB = 8\sqrt{2} [/tex]
4. Distance between A(-2, -5) and B(-6, 1):
[tex] (-2, -5) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] (-6, 1) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(-6 - (-2))^2 + (1 - (-5))^2} = \sqrt{(-4)^2 + (6)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 36} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{52} [/tex]
None of the choices are correct
