Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance formula is [tex]D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^{2}+(x_2-x_1)^{2}}[/tex]
Where [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] is the first coordinate (our case, point A(2,2)) & [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] is the second coordinate (our case, point D(-4,-3))
Plugging these in into the formula gives us:
[tex]D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^{2}+(x_2-x_1)^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{(-3-2)^{2}+(-4-2))^{2}} \\D=\sqrt{(-5)^{2}+(-6)^{2}}\\ D=\sqrt{25+36} \\D=\sqrt{61} \\D=7.81[/tex]
Answer choice B is closest.
