Find the distance between two points A(2,3)A(2,-3) and B(4,5)B(4,5) using the distance formula d=(x2x1)2+(y2y1)2d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The coordinates of point A are (,-3) . The coordinates of point B are (4,5)
3. We are using the Euclidean distance formula to calculate the distance between two points in a plane.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the difference between the x-values of points A and B. This can be done by subtracting the x-coordinate of point A from the x-coordinate of point B.
x2x1=42x_{2} - x_{1} =4 -2

STEP 3

Calculate the difference between the x-values.
x2x1=2=2x_{2} - x_{1} = -2 =2

STEP 4

Next, we need to find the difference between the y-values of points A and B. This can be done by subtracting the y-coordinate of point A from the y-coordinate of point B.
y2y1=(3)y_{2} - y_{1} = - (-3)

STEP 5

Calculate the difference between the y-values.
y2y1=5(3)=8y_{2} - y_{1} =5 - (-3) =8

STEP 6

Now that we have the differences between the x-values and y-values, we can substitute these into the distance formula.
d=(2)2+(8)2d = \sqrt{(2)^{2} + (8)^{2}}

STEP 7

Calculate the squares of the differences.
d=(4)+(64)d = \sqrt{(4) + (64)}

STEP 8

Add the squares of the differences.
d=68d = \sqrt{68}

STEP 9

implify the square root to find the distance, d.
d=217d =2\sqrt{17}The distance, d, of AB is 2172\sqrt{17}.
