Question

Point p has coordinates (-4,-2) and point q has coordinates (4,3) calculate the shortest distance between P and Q. Give your answer to 1 decimal place

Answer 1

Answer:

distance = 9.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* using the distance formula *

d =

$\sqrt{(x2 - x1 )^{2} + (y2 - y1)^{2} }$

$\sqrt{( - 4 - 4) ^{2} + ( - 2 - 3) ^{2} }$

= 9.4 units
