Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ in a plane is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$. Substituting the given points $(3.2, 4.3)$ and $(-6.9, -5.8)$ into the formula gives $\sqrt{(-6.9 - 3.2)^2 + (-5.8 - 4.3)^2} = \sqrt{(-10.1)^2 + (-10.1)^2} = \sqrt{102.01 + 102.01} = \sqrt{204.02} \approx 14.28$ units.
