If point A is located at coordinates (2,−3)and point B is located at coordinates (−3,9),what is the distance from A to B if the units of the coordinated system are meters?
A) 17 m
B) 10 m
C) 13 m
D) 20 m

The distance formula is given by:
Distance = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

Substituting the given values, we get:
Distance = √[(-3 - 2)² + (9 - (-3))²]
= √[(-5)² + 12²]
= √(25 + 144)
= √169
= 13 m

Therefore, the distance from A to B is 13 m.
