Answer:
The distance between A and B is 8.5 after rounded to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula you always use for distance between points is as pictured.
Point A is (-6, 4), this is x1 and y1
Point B is (2, 1), this is x2 and y2
(2-[-6])^2 + (1-4)^2
since 2 negatives make a positive, 2 - -6 = 8
1 - 4 = -3
This makes 8 squared and -3 squared
8x8 = 64
-3x-3 = 9
64 + 9 = 73
the square root of 73 = 8.544003745
After rounding to the nearest tenth, it is 8.5
I hope this helps you! Good luck :)
