if a = (4,-5) and b = (7,-9), what is the length of ab?
o
a. 5 units
b. 8 units
oo oo
o
c. 6 units
d. 7 units

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Length AB,

Just apply the formula;

Length between two points =square root of [(difference in x coordinates)^2 + (difference in y coordinates)^2]

Length AB =square root of [(4 - 7)^2 + (-5 - - 9)^2]

Length AB =square root of [ (-3)^2 + (4)^2]

Length AB = square root of (25)

Length AB = 5 units

The answer to your question is: letter A. 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

A (4, -5)      B(7,-9)

length of AB = ?

Formula

distance = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)

x₂ = 7

x₁ = 4

y₂ = -9

y₁ = -5

Substitution

distance = √((7 - 4)² + (-9 +5)²)

distance = √(3² + -4²)

distance = √  9 + 16

distance = 25

distance = 5 u
