Question
![The image shows a coordinate plane with a grid, displaying a line segment between two points labeled B and T. The x-axis ranges from -10 to 10, and the y-axis also ranges from -10 to 10. Both axes are marked at regular intervals.
- **Point B** is located at (-8, 5).
- **Point T** is located at (2, -3).
The instruction below the graph states:
"Find the distance between points B and T. Type in your answer below."
There is a text box provided for entering the answer.
The task is to calculate the distance using the distance formula:
\[
d = \sqrt{{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}}
\]
where \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) are the coordinates of points B and T, respectively.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa1b5d0c3-6eef-4fa4-b91c-b0a4234a71ad%2F9ffaf02c-3c93-4f68-946f-0ca3b0969d20%2F5x0crd_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
