Answer:
AB ≈ 11.2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the distance using the distance formula
d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²
with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(5, - 3)
AB = [tex]\sqrt{(5+5)^2+(-3-2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{10^2+(-5)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{100+25}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{125}[/tex] ≈ 11.2 ( to the nearest tenth )
