Question

what is the distance between point (-5, -2) and point (8, -3) rounded to the nearest tenth? will appreciate all the help

Answer 1

$\text {Distance =} \sqrt{((Y_2-Y_1)^2+(X_2-X_1)^2}$

$\text {Distance =} \sqrt{((-3-(-1))^2+(8-(-5))^2}$

$\text {Distance =} \sqrt{(-1)^2+(13)^2}$

$\text {Distance =} \sqrt{(1+169}$

$\text {Distance =} \sqrt{170}$

$\text {Distance =} 13.0 \text { units}$
