Finding Distance in the Coordinate Plane
Question 5 of 10 • CA-Math 8 B
Which equation correctly shows how to determine the distance between the points (9, –2) and (6, 3) on a coordinate grid?
Answer
A
d = StartRoot (6 minus 3) squared + (9 minus (negative 2)) squared EndRoot
B
d = StartRoot (6 + 3) squared + (9 + (negative 2)) squared EndRoot
C
d = StartRoot (6 minus 9) squared + (3 minus (negative 2)) squared EndRoot
D
d = StartRoot (6 + 9) squared + (3 + (negative 2)) squared EndRoot
