Question

Jose wants to walk to the store from his house but he is not sure how far away it is. Find the distance between his house (-8, -9) and the store (-4, -10). Each unit is equal to one mile.

Answer 1

Answer:

4.12 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distance formula

d^2 = (-8- -4)^2 + ( -9 - -10)^2

d^2 =   16   +   1

d^2 = 17

d = sqrt 17 = 4.12 miles
