To find the distance between (-2,-3) and (4,1), peggy's teacher drew a diagram and marked blue lines to represent the legs of a right triangle. peggy then used 42 and 62 to find the distance represented by the red segment. what distance did she find ?

The distance between  (-2,-3) and (4,1) is units

The distance between two points and is given by the formula:

For the points (-2, -3) and (4, 1):

x₁ = -2,  y₁  =  -3,  x₂ = 4 y₂ = 1

Substitute x₁ = -2,  y₁  =  -3,  x₂ = 4 y₂ = 1 into the formula above:

The distance between  (-2,-3) and (4,1) is units
