Answer:
[tex]d = \sqrt{85}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance Formula: [tex]d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(5-3)^2+(-1-8)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{(2)^2+(-9)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{4+81}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{85}[/tex]
