Answer:
[tex]d=17.4642[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Formula: [tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Simply plug in your 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-5-2)^2+(7-(-9))^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{(-7)^2+(7+9)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{49+(16)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{49+256}[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{305}[/tex]
[tex]d=17.4642[/tex]
