Given Coordinates: x1 = -3 y1 = 2, x2 = 9 y2 = 7
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(9 − (-3))2 + (7 − 2)2
d = √(9 + 3)2 + (7 − 2)2
d = √122 + 52
d = √144 + 25
d = √169
d = 13
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, 2) and (9, 7) is equal to 13
