Point a(2, 2) and point d(−4, −3) are located on the grid. which measurement is closest to the distance between point a and point d in units? a) 7.5 units b) 7.8 units c) 8.1 units d) 8.4 units

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is

Where is the first coordinate (our case, point A(2,2)) &   is the second coordinate (our case, point D(-4,-3))

Plugging these in into the formula gives us:

Answer choice B is closest.

B)7.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between 2 points

d = sqrt ( (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

  =sqrt( -4-2)^2 + (-3-2)^2)

  = sqrt((-6)^2+(-5)^2)

  = sqrt(36+26)

  = sqrt(61)

   =7.810249676

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
