Answer:
d = 2[tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
P1 (-5, 4) P2 (-3, -4)
Use the distance formula: d = [tex]\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2} }[/tex]
Plug in the values and simplify
d = [tex]\sqrt{(-3 + 5)^{2} + (-4 -4)^{2} }[/tex]
d = [tex]\sqrt{(2)^{2} + (-8)^{2} }[/tex]
d = [tex]\sqrt{4 + 64 }[/tex]
d = [tex]\sqrt{68}[/tex]
d = 2[tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]
I hope this helps :)
