Riko wants to find the distance between the points (−2, −3) and (2, −5). His work is shown. StartAbsoluteValue negative 3 EndAbsoluteValue + StartAbsoluteValue negative 5 EndAbsoluteValue = 3 + 5 = 8. The distance is 8 units. Riko correct? Explain why or why not.

Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-2, -3) and (2, -5)

We are to find the distance between the two points

Using the formula:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = -3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -5

Substitute

D = √(2-(-2))²+(-5-(-3))²

D= √(4)²+(-2)²

D = √16 + 4

D = √20

D = √4*√5

D = 2√5

This shows that Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
