What is the distance between the points (-3,12) and (-10,-8) 7 A. sqrt (185) B. sqrt (229) C. sqrt (351) D. sqrt (449)

Question

Answer 1

To find the distance between two points \((-3, 12)\) and \((-10, -8)\), we use the distance formula:

Here, \((x_1, y_1) = (-3, 12)\) and \((x_2, y_2) = (-10, -8)\).First, calculate the differences in the coordinates:

Next, square these differences:

Now, add these squared differences:

Finally, take the square root of the sum:

Thus, the distance between the points \((-3, 12)\) and \((-10, -8)\) is:

So the correct answer is:D.
