Given Coordinates: x1 = 9 y1 = -3, x2 = -1 y2 = 8
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(-1 − 9)2 + (8 − (-3))2
d = √(-1 − 9)2 + (8 + 3)2
d = √(-10)2 + 112
d = √100 + 121
d = √221
Therefore, the distance between the points (9, -3) and (-1, 8) is equal to √221
Note: As a decimal number, √221 ≈ 14.866068747319
