Given Coordinates: x1 = -3 y1 = 4, x2 = 9 y2 = -1
Distance Formula: d = √(x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2
Substitute the given coordinates into the Distance Formula and Simplify:
d = √(9 − (-3))2 + (-1 − 4)2
d = √(9 + 3)2 + (-1 − 4)2
d = √122 + (-5)2
d = √144 + 25
d = √169
d = 13
Therefore, the distance between the points (-3, 4) and (9, -1) is equal to 13
