Answer:
The answer to your question is 17.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
A (-10, 12)
B (5, 3)
Formula
dAB = [tex]\sqrt{(x2 - x1)^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2}}[/tex]
x1 = -10 y1 = 12 x2 = 5 y2 = 3
- Substitution
dAB = [tex]\sqrt{(5 + 10)^{2} + (3 - 12)^{2}}[/tex]
- Simplification
dAB = [tex]\sqrt{15^{2}+ (-9)^{2}}[/tex]
dAB = [tex]\sqrt{225 + 81}[/tex]
dAB = [tex]\sqrt{306}[/tex]
Result
dAB = 17.49 units
The answer is the first choice
