If you mean a ; (-5,4) & b ; (3,-2)
If you mean that they are the (x,y) coordinates, then please write them in brackets separated by a comma.
If this is what you mean, then we use Pythagoras.
d^2 = a^2 + b^2
Substituting
d^2 = (-5-3)^2 + ( 4 - - 2)^2
d^2 = (-8)^2 + (6)^2
d^2 = 64 + 36
d^2 = 100
d = sqrt(100) = 10 is the distance between the two points.

What is the distance from point A to point B in decimal form?
The answer depends on where A and B are.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid?
Vector
What is 6 is to 20 as 54 is to B?
6/20 = 54/B so B = 54*20/6 = 180
If it is 100 yards from point A to point B and point C is 50 yards directly right of point A how far is it from point B to point C?
Assuming the line A to B is straight ahead, and perpendicular to the line A to C : A to B is 100 yds, A to C is 50 yds. If C is directly to the right of A, you have a right-angle triangle. The distance from C to B is the hypotenuse. To find the hypotenuse of a right-angle triangle, use the formula A² + B² = C². Using the formula: A² + B² = C² 50² + 100² = C² 2500 + 10000 = C² 12500 = C² sq rt of 12500 = C 111.80339 = C (The distance from point C to point B is 111.80339 yards)
What are a and b if a x B-Cubed equals 54?
54 = 2 x 3³ So, if a and b are integers, a=2 and b=3
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is a vector?
true the distance from point A to point B on a grid = vector
What is the distance from point A to point B in decimal form?
The answer depends on where A and B are.
Point B in the river is inaccessible.What is the approximate distance from point A to point B?
24.3
The distance from point A to point B on a grid?
Vector
What is the definition of distance in the element of travel?
The definition of distance is a measurement from point A to point B. As an element of travel, the time taken to go from point A to point B is the time of travel, or the time taken to cover the distance at a certain speed.
The distance from point A to point B on a grid is scalar or vector?
VECTOR
What type of measurement is thisthe distance from point A to point B on a grid?
Length.
What is the difference between distance an displacement?
A distance is the length of the straight line path between 2 points. This is also known as a scalar value as it has a magnitude but no direction. A displacement is the distance and the direction between one point and another. This is also known as a vector as it has magnitude and direction as well. Note that the distance between two points, say, point A and point B is the same as the distance from point B to point A. It remains the same value regardless of the direction of travel. On the other hand, if a displacement between point A and point B was 1 mile North, it cannot be reversed. The displacement between point B and point A is 1 mile South - the same distance but an opposite direction.
6 is to 20 as 54 is to b?
6/20=54/b 54/b*54 6/20*54/1= 324/20= 16.2 b=16.2
Why do maps show a scale?
So you can find out the actual distance from point A to point B.
Assume that point A on this measure stick represents 0. What is the distance from point A to point B?
0 to 3
What algebraic expression shows the square of the distance from point A to point B minus 81?
(B - A)2 - 81 or (B - A + 9)(B - A - 9) If the starting point, A, is taken as zero the the expression simplifies to (B + 9)(B - 9)
