Answer:
AB = 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between A(-1, 2) and B(1, -2):
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]
Let,
[tex] A(-1, 2) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]
[tex] B(1, -2) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(1 - (-1))^2 + (-2 - 2)^2} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-4)^2} [/tex]
[tex] AB = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} [/tex]
[tex] AB = 4.5 [/tex] (nearest tenth)
