Step-by-step explanation:
Think of it like a right triangle. Do you have a graph handy?
Ok, graph both of the points. Now connect the points. That's our hypotenuse and the side length we want to find.
Now, bring down a line from (-3,5) to the x axis. Do you see a right triangle?
All we have to do is find the hypotenuse of this right triangle we just drew. We already have the leg lengths which are 3 and 5. Using this, do the pythagorean theorem.
9+25=34
√34 is our hypotenuse & distance between the points
Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{34}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
Identify
Point (0, 0)
Point (-3, 5)
Step 2: Find distance d
Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the distance formula to find distance d
- Substitute in points [Distance Formula]: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-3-0)^2+(5-0)^2}[/tex]
- [√Radical] (Parenthesis) Subtract: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{(-3)^2+(5)^2}[/tex]
- [√Radical] Evaluate exponents: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{9+25}[/tex]
- [√Radical] Add: [tex]\displaystyle d = \sqrt{34}[/tex]
