Find the distance between the points (-3,2) and (0,3).

The distance between (-3, 2) and (0,3) is √10.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we go from (-3,2)  to  (0,3), x increases by 3 and y increases by 1.

Think of a triangle with base 3 and height 1.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse, which represents the distance between the points (-3, 2) and (0, 3):

distance = √(3² + 1²) = √10

The distance between (-3, 2) and (0,3) is √10.

For this case we have that by definition, the distance between two points is given by:

We have the following points:

Substituting:

The distance between the points is
