Answer:

The square root of 85

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find out the distance between the points is shown below:

The Distance is

[tex]= \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}[/tex]

where,

x_1 = -3

y_1 = -1

x_2 = 4

And, the y_2 = 5

Now place these values to the above formula

So, the distance is

[tex]= \sqrt{(4+3)^2 + (5+1)^2} \\\\= \sqrt{49 + 36} \\\\= \sqrt{85}[/tex]

= 9.22 units

Hence, the distance between points M and N is 9.22 units or the square root of 85

Hence, the second option is correct
